New DfE exclusions guidance: What schools need to know
02 July 2026
Online
The Department for Education has released updated pupil behaviour and school exclusions guidance, which takes effect at the end of the current academic year.
This free webinar will walk school and trust leaders through the key changes being implemented and what they mean in practice, helping you to ensure your policies and processes are ready for the new school year.
We'll cover changes to:
- Directions off-site.
- Managed moves.
- Safeguarding separations.
- Other updates brought about by the guidance changes.
As always there'll be plenty of opportunities to ask any questions you may have.
This webinar is open to all and will be of particular value to headteachers, governors, trustees and those involved in the process of exclusions.
Our in-person and online events are designed exclusively for clients and prospects. As such, we reserve the right to cancel bookings. If you’d like to speak to a member of the team regarding your attendance, please contact us.
