Why is a managed move preferred to permanent exclusion?
- Managed Moves look to the future rather than the past.
- If the move is managed effectively, educational outcomes are likely to improve.
- A Managed Move is an efficient and effective process which directly links the current and future settings with the family.
- Managed Moves can help to reinforce expected behaviours.
- A successful Managed Move can help a pupil to keep their sense of belonging to their local community.
“Managed Moves should be offered as part of a planned intervention. The original school should be able to evidence that appropriate initial intervention has been carried out, including, where relevant, multi-agency support, or any statutory assessments were done or explored prior to a managed move. (DfE 2022)
