Event summary

There is growing concern about the rising numbers of exclusions and off-rolling in schools in England.  Following the recently updated DfE guidance on suspension and school exclusion that came force on 1st September 2023, join us to explore how schools, local authorities and PRUs can provide high quality support for children most at risk of exclusion.

Working together to offer insight into effective intervention for helping vulnerable children remain in school. We will discuss how to equip and support schools and services to ensure that all children are given the chance to thrive academically, emotionally and socially.

Join with colleagues to explore the key challenges facing schools in managing persistent disruptive behaviour, inside and outside the classroom. Don’t miss this opportunity to network online and put your questions to schools and settings having success in preventing fixed-term and permanent exclusions and leading voices in the sector.
