<p>In 2016-17 there were 3,605 permanent exclusions and 171,580 fixed period exclusions
for pupils with special educational needs (SEN). Pupils with identified SEN accounted
for 46.7% of all permanent exclusions and 44.9% of fixed period exclusions.</p><p>In
March, the government launched an externally led review of exclusions practice, led
by Edward Timpson CBE. The review will consider how schools use exclusion and how
this affects all pupils, but in particular why some groups of children, such as those
with special needs, are more likely to be excluded from school. The government will
respond to this review after it is published at the beginning of 2019.</p><p>The attached
full terms of reference for the review can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-exclusions-review-terms-of-reference"
