Karen A Report post Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Interesting report out today. I have included the main relevant point regarding SEN.However the report also includes recomendations that all mainstream teachers should have training in SEN as part of basic qualifications, http://www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/content/publications/content_561 It is our judgement that it is unreasonable for any school to unilaterally permanently exclude a child who has the school named as specified provision on a statement of SEN. That is not to say the school cannot exclude the child at all. The school should have to make a proposal that the child be excluded which should trigger a review of the child’s statement. It would be for all professionals involved in the statementing process, including the school, to decide collectively whether a permanent exclusion was appropriate. Reviews of this type must, by law, already include the child and their parents or carers in reaching decisions. A review regarding a potential exclusion should be no exception. Where it is decided that exclusion is appropriate, the statement would need to be amended to reflect the new arrangements being made for the continuing education of that child. Where it is decided that exclusion is inappropriate, the statement should be amended to reflect the additional support needed by the school to continue to manage the behaviour of the individual, in order to prevent continued disruption to their own learning and that of others Edited March 19, 2012 by Karen A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
