Guides for head teachers and parents/carers on exclusions

As you may be aware, the Department recently published an update of its exclusion guidance: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-exclusion. Can we draw your attention particularly to the two non-statutory guides summarising key elements of the exclusions process: one for head teachers and the other for parents/carers (Annexes B and C respectively). These guides include coverage of how Special Educational Needs and disabilities might be relevant to a school’s decision-making.
