and fixed period exclusions by type of special educational need can be found in national
table 6.</p><p>The information requested, on the number of children with autism spectrum
condition who have been isolated in schools in the last 12 months, is not held centrally.</p><p>As
part of Ofsted inspections, however, schools will be asked to provide records and
analysis of any use of internal isolation. Ofsted inspectors will expect schools to
have clear and effective behaviour policies that promote high standards of behaviour
and are applied consistently and fairly. In reaching a judgement on pupils’ personal
development, behaviour and welfare, inspectors will take account of a range of information,
including schools’ use of internal isolation.</p><p>The Department’s behaviour and
discipline guidance to schools makes clear that schools must act lawfully, reasonably
and proportionately when using isolation, and must take account of any special education
needs or disabilities pupils placed in isolation may have.</p>
