Rejected petition Impose Inclusive Guidelines for SEN Behaviour Policies in UK Academy Schools

We call upon the UK Government and Parliament to impose clear guidelines on inclusive behaviour policies in Academy schools, ensuring that the unique needs of Special Educational Needs (SEN) children are addressed, and suspensions and exclusions are minimised.

More details

Current behaviour policies in Academy schools disproportionately affect SEN children, leading to an alarming rate of suspensions and exclusions. While schools have the autonomy to create their policies, the Government and Parliament have the responsibility to set requirements that promote inclusive education.
