New early intervention strategies are of course an excellent idea, but when done in conjunction with upholding the sometimes necessary use of seclusions and exclusions. We simply ask that the Minister and the department commit to revisit the incoming recording and reporting process that many people, not just noble Lords here, feel is poorly costed and has inadequate oversight. Can she then reassure your Lordships’ House that the Government accept that seclusions and exclusions are, regrettably, sometimes a necessary part of school life?
