Require schools report restrictive interventions to LAs after exclusions

Background

Require schools in England to report details of any restrictive interventions, including physical interventions, involving a pupil to the local authority whenever the incident results in a suspension or a permanent exclusion.

Additional details

Schools should be required to record uses of restrictive interventions and inform parents when it results in a suspension or exclusion. There is no consistent national requirement to provide this information to the relevant local authority when the incident is linked to a suspension or permanent exclusion. We want a statutory requirement to ensure local authorities are automatically informed, to help identify patterns, safeguarding concerns and additional needs, and ensure appropriate support is provided.
