Why your views matter

This Call for Evidence seeks evidence and views from practitioners, researchers and other stakeholders to inform the development of school exclusion reforms set out in the ‘Every Child Achieving and Thriving’ White Paper, published in February 2026. The reforms relate to the use of internal suspension, reintegration support partnerships following a suspension, and provision of schoolwork during the first 5 days of suspension and permanent exclusion.
