Suspensions and Permanent Exclusions Training for AMS

Suspensions and permanent exclusions can lead to legal challenges, regulatory risk and negative outcomes for pupils. It is therefore essential that those involved in school exclusions are up to date on the relevant law, guidance and best practice, to ensure that suspensions and permanent exclusions are imposed lawfully and that those reviewing the decision of a Headteacher or Principal to exclude do so with a rigorous level of scrutiny.

To assist those involved, in this training session our expert speakers will cover:

• Relevant law and guidance
• Key considerations for Headteachers/Principals
• Best practice investigations
• Alternatives to exclusions
• Equality considerations
• The roles and duties of the Governors
• Governors' Discipline Meetings
• Independent Review Panel Hearings and the Governors' reconsideration
• Arranging education for excluded pupils
• Case studies
