Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to implement the recommendation in the Timpson review of school exclusion to establish "a practice fund of sufficient value, longevity and reach".

In its response to Edward Timpson’s review of school exclusion, the government set out its intention to establish a practice programme to build on the excellent practice identified by Edward Timpson.

This programme will embed effective partnership working between local authorities, schools, alternative provision, and other partners to better equip schools to intervene early for children at risk of exclusion and to ensure that the most effective provision is put in place for those who are excluded.
