This course is aimed at governors and trustees who have been asked to consider a suspension or exclusion.
It reflects the Department for Education's (DfE) statutory school suspensions and permanent exclusions guidance for maintained schools, academies and pupil referral units (PRUs), which came into force on 26 July 2026.
Whether you're new to suspensions and exclusions, or looking to refresh your knowledge, we'll help you understand your role on the review panel and what you can expect at each stage in the process.
Learn in bitesized chunks, whenever best suits you, or set aside about 3.5 hours to complete the course in one sitting.
