Further to my recent post about the new exclusions guidance, it has been withdrawn today. The DfE website no longer has a link to the new guidance, although the link to the 2012 guidance remains. The website explains that “The School Reform Minister Nick Gibb has removed the current guidance to address some issues with process and we will be issuing updated guidance in due course.” The Local Government Lawyer notes that the withdrawal of the guidance follows the threat of judicial review proceedings.
