Overview

We are seeking views on proposed changes to the Behaviour in Schools Guidance and the Suspension and Permanent Exclusion Guidance for England.

Why your views matter

In response to the ‘Timpson Review of School Exclusion’, the government committed to working with sector experts to publish clearer, more consistent guidance to support schools to create positive behaviour cultures and ensure suspensions and permanent exclusions are conducted in a lawful, reasonable and procedurally fair way.

This consultation seeks views on proposed revisions to the Behaviour in Schools Guidance and Suspension and Permanent Exclusion Guidance and associated changes to regulations.
