Notice of Motions
Notice of the following motion has been given in accordance with the Committee Procedure Rules:-
Ms Emma Corlett:
- take seriously our responsibility to Norfolk Children and
Young People and their families
- expect all Norfolk educational settings to be inclusive
and make reasonable adjustments to support the learning needs of children and
young people
- expect all Norfolk educational settings to use fixed-term
exclusion only as a last resort sanction, having first sought advice from
Norfolk County Council inclusion helpline at the earliest opportunity,
-
expect any Norfolk educational setting using exclusion to do so within the law
- note with concern the practice reported by some parents of
‘unlawful exclusions’ such as asking for children to picked up from school
early, or asking them to be kept at home during school trips
- note that some school staff may be unwittingly
participating in an unlawful exclusion as they have not received adequate
training
Committee Resolves to:
- request that officers set up an email reporting system to
allow parents to report an unlawful exclusion or attempted unlawful exclusion
(similar to the system currently implemented by Suffolk County Council)
- investigate any reported unlawful exclusions, and provide
information and advice to schools
- report back to a future committee what action NCC is able
to take against schools who are found to have unlawfully excluded
- request that a NCC-led media information campaign advising
parents of the law and their rights, examples of the types of unlawful
exclusions they might experience and how to report
- write to teaching and support staff trade unions and ask
them to support the campaign, and raise awareness with their members of the law
and illegal exclusions
- write to each school governing body and ask them to
provide challenge to school leadership teams to ensure unlawful exclusions are
not taking place in their schools, and to ensure their school staff have
appropriate training
