A boy expelled from school aged just four has now been stuck at home so long he is scared to go outside, his mum says. Laura Jordan says she has been shocked to discover that councils are not required to get kids back into school if they are excluded before their fifth birthday.
Laura's son Zac was kicked out of his primary school in Worcestershire last October after a number of behaviour problems, including attacks on other pupils and staff, reports The Mirror.
However his mother believes he has undiagnosed special educational needs that can't be dealt with in mainstream schools. Worcestershire County Council has since apologised for failing to find a suitable school for Zac and said it is working with his mum to get him back into education.
