<p>The department is aware that some groups of children have a greater likelihood
of permanent exclusion than others. The updated suspension and permanent exclusion
guidance sets out that schools, local authorities and local partners should work together
to understand what lies behind local trends, such as high rates of exclusions among
one group. If they identify any gaps, they should act to ensure those who work with
children have the training, services and support they need to address them. In addition,
information is provided to governing boards on carefully considering the level of
pupil moves and the characteristics of pupils who have been permanently excluded to
ensure the sanction is only used when absolutely necessary. The revised guidance will
be published shortly</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
