	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to making schools accountable for pupils who are permanently excluded. 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 13/05/2019 answer text <p>The Department knows that continuing professional development (CPD) is integral to improving the quality of teaching. Effective, evidence-based CPD strengthens practice, builds confidence and, crucially, improves outcomes for pupils.</p><p>For CPD to be effective, however, it must be tailored to the needs of the individual. That is why decisions relating to CPD, including budgets, rightly rest with schools, headteachers and teachers.</p><p>The Department recognises that more can be done to improve the take-up of high quality evidence-based CPD in schools. That is why the CPD Expert Group has re-convened to develop recommendations that ensure that all teachers have access to high quality, meaningful support and CPD, drawing on the Standard for Teachers’ Professional Development (published in July 2016) and the accompanying implementation guide.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 13/05/2019 16:31:55 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
