There is no consistent national requirement to record how often this occurs, how long pupils miss teaching, or whether vulnerable groups such as pupils with SEND are disproportionately affected. Recording and reporting would improve transparency, safeguarding and accountability.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":21,"created_at":"2026-03-23T18:22:33.840Z","updated_at":"2026-04-30T12:53:52.370Z","rejected_at":"2026-04-30T12:53:44.132Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-31T05:34:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"already-happening","details":"According to statutory guidance from the Department for Education, governing bodies of maintained schools and the proprietors of other schools already must\r\nensure that a procedure is in place for recording each seclusion or restraint incident as part of the school’s duty under the Schools (Recording and Reporting of Seclusion and Restraint) (No. 2) (England) Regulations 2025.\r\n\r\nThis must be recorded and reported.\r\n\r\nYou can read more about this here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6943dad6501cdd438f4cf5aa/Restrictive_interventions_including_use_of_reasonable_force_in_schools.pdf"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
