It is taken into account in both the Exportability and Adaptability evaluation criteria. I cannot discuss specific criteria or their weightings at this time as to do so would be prejudicial to the commercial interests of the Ministry of Defence but can assure the hon.

	uin	240535
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>As part of Ofsted inspections, 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> </p><p>The Department does not collect or record information about schools’ use of internal isolation. The Department expects schools to develop their own policies and strategies for managing disruptive behaviour, according to their particular circumstances. To help schools develop effective strategies, the Department has produced advice for schools which covers what should be included in their behaviour policy. This advice can be viewed here:</p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/488034/Behaviour_and_Discipline_in_Schools_-_A_guide_for_headteachers_and_School_Staff.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/488034/Behaviour_and_Discipline_in_Schools_-_A_guide_for_headteachers_and_School_Staff.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The advice outlines how schools can adopt a policy which allows disruptive pupils to be placed in isolation away from other pupils. If a school uses isolation rooms as a disciplinary penalty, this should be made clear in their behaviour policy. As with other disciplinary penalties, schools must act lawfully, reasonably and proportionately in all cases, and must take account of any special education needs or disabilities pupils placed in isolation may have. The school must also ensure the health and safety of pupils.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 08/04/2019 14:58:04 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
