Our model policy:

  • Takes into account relevant requirements and good practice
  • Is designed for you to adapt to fit your school's context
  • Has been approved by Forbes Solicitors

Please note: this model policy is aimed primarily at maintained schools, but can be easily adapted to suit any school. If you wish to use the policy in a different type of setting – e.g. academies, a pupil referral unit (PRU) or non-maintained special school – we recommend you check this policy against any requirements or considerations specific to your context and adapt it accordingly.
