ExploreExclusions & Managed Moves Support
Suspensions, exclusions, and managed moves are among the highest-stakes decisions a school makes — for the child, and for the school’s legal position. New statutory guidance has raised the bar again, and getting the process wrong is costly.
We give schools expert, impartial support to handle exclusions, managed moves, and off-site direction properly and lawfully.
What Is Our Exclusions Support?
It is expert support with the full range of pupil movement and exclusion decisions: suspensions, permanent exclusions, managed moves, and off-site direction. We help you follow the correct process, meet your duties, and make decisions that are fair, defensible, and in the child’s interests, all aligned to the latest DfE statutory guidance.
The guidance changed significantly, so we work to the current version, including the new expectations on managed moves and safeguarding.
Who Is Our Exclusions Support For?
It is for schools, academies, trusts, and APs handling a difficult exclusion or managed move, or wanting to check their processes against the new guidance. It suits heads, SENCOs, and governors who need the process to be right first time.

Work to the new guidance

Exclusions involving SEND carry real discrimination risk. We help you meet your duties and evidence reasonable adjustments.

Support governors
Governing board reviews and panels are high-stakes. We guide or support them, so the process holds up to challenge.
6
Document defensibly
Much of the risk is in the paperwork. We help you document decisions clearly, so they stand up if challenged.
7
Reduce the risk
A flawed exclusion can be overturned and costly. Getting it right first time protects the child and the school.
