The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she plans to next update guidance on removing pupils from the classroom.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

In July 2022, the department published the updated ‘behaviour in schools’ guidance, which is the primary source of advice for schools on developing and implementing a behaviour policy, providing clarity and support to schools on removing pupils from the classroom.

Updates to the guidance were informed by a call for evidence in June 2021 and public consultation in March 2022.
