Timpson review of school exclusion and the Government’s response were published in
May 2019 and can be found at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/school-exclusions-review-call-for-evidence"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/school-exclusions-review-call-for-evidence</a>.</p><p>The
review makes 30 recommendations and highlights variation in exclusions practice across
different schools, local authorities and certain groups of children. The Government
agrees with all 30 recommendations in principle and will take forward a response which
respects headteachers’ powers to use exclusion while equipping schools to support
children at risk of exclusion.</p><p> </p>
