Hi everyone, we need another 2,200 squares to meet the target of 4191 if anyone can help. The squares are 5 cm x 5 cm 💗 #crochet #exclusion

Thanks to Elizabeth Jobson, Enid, Endeavour Academy, Karen, Dawn, Debbie, Pam, Liz and Philip Tebbs mum for the kind donations of squares for project 4,191. We are busy putting together the blanket to represent the daily equivalent of exclusions in 2022-2023.

Thank you to everyone who has donated squares, please DM me to get involved #4191 daily reported exclusions 2022-23 #exclusion #crochet @UoSResearch 🌹

Project 2,999 on tour of England to support local areas in preventing preventable exclusion. Seeing young people with the blanket and talking about their experiences was, as always the highlight of my week. #youthmatters2025 Thank you to the Council for Disabled Children 🙂

We will be making a second blanket of 4,191 squares, 4cm x 4cm please ⭐

Hello! It's been a while. The 2,999 blanket is in tour of England 🙂. We will be extending the blanket to 4,191 to represent the daily equivalent number of reported suspensions and permanent exclusions 2022/23 (DfE). Who fancies crocheting a square? Let's keep talking ❣️

We knew this was coming. The question is what are we going to do about it?

Suspensions and permanent exclusions are both types of exclusion, and where this guidance uses the word 'exclusion' this includes both suspensions (fixed-period exclusions) and permanent exclusions (DfE, 2023). For anyone who is unclear on the 'types of exclusion'. Best wishes ☀️

Hello! I'm going to be doing most of my social media on LinkedIn. If you would like to see what I'm up to search Sarah Martin-Denham with the pullupachair logo ❤️
