Permanent Exclusion Support (PEX)

When a Hampshire child is permanently excluded from school the family is offered support to enable them to understand the process and their rights and have the opportunity to express their views.

The role requires an initial meeting in the families home or via a telephone conversation to complete the questionnaire. Further support maybe required depending on the needs of the family which could include guiding the family through and understanding the school packs, supporting them at the Governors Pupil Disciplinary Committee (GDC) and potentially attending with the family an independent review panel (IRP).

• Meet with the child/family to guide them through the exclusion process and the child’s rights.
