Education expert Maureen McKenna has been appointed to London’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) as an education consultant and is set to aid the development of its inclusion charter.
Mckenna was formerly the director of education at Glasgow City Council, where she oversaw a 90 per cent drop in school exclusions – both permanent and temporary – over 14 years. Over the same time period, violence in Glasgow’s education settings was also reduced by half.
In her new role, McKenna will work with the VRU and its Young People’s Action Group to prioritise equitable practices in areas such as the school curriculum and anti-racism, and tackle disproportionality in school exclusion rates.
