Document Executive Response - Exclusions

The Children and Young People Scrutiny Committee, when considering the quarterly performance monitoring reports were made aware of that the rate of fixed period and permanent exclusions issued by schools was a concern and were made aware of a number of programmes which would take place in 2013-14 aimed to impact positively on the number of exclusions issued from schools. The Executive Councillor (Lifelong & Achievement) suggested that the topic of Exclusions may be one that the Committee would wish to review. The report enclosed sets out the finding, conclusions and recommendations of the Review Panel in relation to this topic.
