It's been approved by Forbes Solicitors and is based on the DfE's statutory guidance.
For more model policies and complete policy support from The Key, see our policy bank.
Note: fixed-term exclusions are now referred to as suspensions. We're expecting the DfE to update the statutory guidance on exclusions and include this change. We'll update our model policy when the statutory guidance is updated.
