answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2024 answer text <p>The department does not collect data on the average time pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) spend in isolation across England.</p><p> </p><p>In July 2022, the department published the updated ‘Behaviour in Schools’ guidance, which is the primary source of advice for schools on developing and implementing a behaviour policy. This updated guidance provides clarity and support to schools on removing pupils from the classroom, which includes advice that schools should collect, monitor and analyse data about this intervention. This information should help schools to make data-based decisions about any additional support individual pupils may require, and to identify whether the school’s removal policy is having a disproportionate impact on pupils sharing particular characteristics.</p><p> </p><p>Schools have a duty under the Equality Act 2010 to take such steps as is reasonable to avoid any substantial disadvantage to SEND pupils caused by the school’s policies or practices. Within these legal parameters, it is then for individual schools to develop their own policies.</p><p> </p><p>Any school behaviour policy must be lawful, proportionate and reasonable and comply with the school’s duties under the Equality Act 2010 and the Education and Inspections Act 2006. Account must be taken of a pupil’s age, any SEND they may have, and any religious requirements affecting them.</p> answering member constituency Newcastle upon Tyne North answering member printed Catherine McKinnell question first answered 09/10/2024 16:05:08 answering member 4125 label Biography information for Catherine McKinnell
