flag One in 12 UK secondary students face weekly isolation, harming wellbeing and sparking calls for reform.

flag A new UK study finds one in 12 secondary school students are placed in isolation rooms at least weekly, with children having special needs or from marginalized backgrounds disproportionately affected. flag The practice, often used for minor behavioral issues, is linked to lower wellbeing, reduced belonging, and strained teacher relationships. flag Critics call it harmful and humiliating, especially when used without support, while some officials defend it as necessary for safety. flag The Department for Education does not track internal exclusions, prompting demands for better data and more inclusive discipline practices.
