The role of Chair of the Exclusions Review is a voluntary role, which is not subject to a formal selection or appointments process.

Edward Timpson CBE brings a wealth of experience championing the rights of vulnerable children to ensure that all children secure the best outcomes.

As Chair of the review, Edward Timpson will draw on the knowledge and experience of others with expertise in this area. He will also be supported by a reference group which will provide expertise on the school system and perspectives of pupils more likely to be excluded. Views and evidence can also be submitted to the call for evidence which will run until 6 May.
