<p>Ofsted has a duty to consider pupils’ behaviour and safety as part of its section
5 school inspections. While it is not Ofsted’s role to investigate individual cases,
inspectors always look at exclusions on school inspections and ask head teachers about
trends and reasons for exclusions. The issue of exclusion is also covered as part
of the joint Ofsted/Care Quality Commission inspections of local authorities’ effectiveness
in identifying and meeting the needs of children and young people who have special
educational needs or disabilities. Inspectors will report on overall levels of exclusions,
and may comment when there is a specific or recurring trend.</p>
