Outcomes of school exclusions in Hackney
In June 2018 it was agreed that the commission would conduct a review of the outcomes for children and young people who have been excluded from school in Hackney.
Excluded children and young people are some of the most vulnerable in our community and therefore it should be a priority for the Council as an education authority to ensure the best possible outcomes for this cohort.
This review proposes that the commission undertakes a review of the outcomes for children and young people who have been excluded from school in Hackney by looking at the destinations of excluded pupils, where they are, and their outcomes.
Our scrutiny review is timely as it would help ascertain whether the local authority is prepared for the proposed changes in legislation and expectations around alternative provision.
