What happened: New guidance in England recommends that pupils suspended for non-violent behaviour should remain in school rather than being sent home. This aims to use on-site suspensions as a disciplinary measure.
Why it matters:
- Keeps students engaged in education during suspensions
- Affects schools, pupils, and families managing behaviour issues
MNN Take: The change seeks to balance discipline with continued learning by having schools supervise suspended pupils on-site, reducing disruption to education.
