Module description

*Updated* This module has been updated in line with the latest statutory guidance on 07/09/23.

Sitting on or clerking a permanent exclusion panel can be a daunting prospect given the high stakes for the pupil and the complexity of the law and regulation. Being required to attend a panel can be equally daunting for senior executive leaders, pupils and parents.

Using a step-by-step walk-through and a case study of the headteacher鈥檚 decision to permanently exclude a pupil, this module demonstrates comprehensively how panel members, panel chairs and clerks can fulfill their roles effectively at each stage. It also provides useful examples of questions to ask and templates to use.

It summarises the law, guidance and policies all will need to follow and explore how a three-step approach will give the panel the confidence to use the evidence to reach a sound decision.
