Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Timpson review of school exclusion will consider ways in which families can be supported to prevent children being excluded from schools.

The review of exclusions practice will consider how schools use exclusion overall and how this impacts their pupils, and in particular, why some groups of pupils are more likely to be excluded from school. It will also consider practice in relation to behaviour management and alternative interventions schools take in place of exclusion.

The review opened with a call for evidence which closed on 6 May. This call received a significant response from parents and their views will be included in the review. The full terms of reference for the review are attached.
