Footnotes

  1. The School Discipline (Pupil Exclusions and Reviews) (England) Regulations 2012 were amended to give school governing bodies and local authorities more time to review suspensions and permanent exclusions and to explicitly allow for meetings to be conducted via video- or tele-conference facilities during the COVID-19 outbreak. In response to coronavirus (COVID-19), some temporary changes were made which applied to school suspension and permanent exclusion between 1 June and 24 September 2020 (inclusive of those dates) and 25 September up until 24 March 2022.
