As stated in the review of school exclusion led by Edward Timpson, this will require careful design. The Department will work with education leaders over the summer to design a consultation on how to deliver this in practice, including seeking views on how to mitigate the potential unintended consequences that are identified in that review. The consultation will be launched in the autumn and will comply with the Government’s published consultation principles.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 13/05/2019 16:32:34 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s response to Edward Timpson’s review of school exclusion sets out our commitment to ensure that pupils who have been excluded from school continue to benefit from high-quality education.</p><p> </p><p>There are already duties in place to ensure children who are excluded from school are in education from the sixth day of their exclusion. The education provided must be full-time, or as close to full-time, if full-time would not be in a child’s best interests because of his or her health needs.</p><p> </p><p>Statutory guidance is also clear that schools should help to minimise the disruption that exclusion can cause to an excluded pupil’s education including considering starting alternative provision as soon as possible after the exclusion. In the case of a looked after child, the school and the local authority should work together to arrange alternative provision from the first day following the exclusion. Where it is not possible, or not appropriate, to arrange alternative provision during the first five school days of an exclusion, the school should take reasonable steps to set and mark work for the pupil.</p><p> </p><p>Fair access protocols exist to ensure that, outside the normal admissions round, unplaced children, especially the hardest to place and most vulnerable, are offered a place at a suitable school as quickly as possible. However, the Department is aware there can be delays in the in-year admission of such children. As such, the Department is currently considering improvements to the in-year admission process, including Fair Access Protocols, to ensure that all children, especially the most vulnerable, can access a new school place as quickly as possible.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 13/05/2019 16:37:27 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>The issues surrounding serious violence, anti-social behaviour and absence and exclusion from school are complex, which is why we are working with the education and care sectors, the Home Office and other Departments as part of a comprehensive, multi-agency response.</p><p> </p><p>The externally led review of exclusions, led by Edward Timpson CBE, which is exploring how head teachers use exclusion in practice and difference in exclusion rates across England, will report shortly. Whilst exclusion is a marker for increased risk of being both a victim and perpetrator of crime, care must be taken not to draw a simple causal link between exclusions and knife crime as there is no clear evidence that this is the case. Therefore, whilst preventing knife crime requires a wider response than just exclusions, the report will help build the Department’s understanding of the use and impact of exclusion.</p><p> </p><p>It is vital that young people who have been excluded from school are safe and receive high-quality education and support to get them back on track. The Department knows there are many remarkable Alternative Provision (AP) settings where committed staff work together to ensure high-quality outcomes for their pupils. The Government is determined to ensure this best practice informs the reform of AP, which is why independent research was commissioned last year to better understand how AP works, and what works well.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 02/05/2019 13:53:19 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
