[SENco-forum] exclusions and statements

A Statemented child is no different from anyone else and same rules should
apply.  The statement is there to ensure access to schooling on an equal
footing - no more or less.  If the child is not coping in whatever school,
mainstream or otherwise, the statement is failing that child and they need
different support or a different school that can better meet their needs.

Inclusion is not about everyone being in standard mainstream, although
mainstream is and should be available for any student as long as their being
there is not detrimental to another child's education. I think that a
special school can be recommended, even if it is against the parents wishes,
in some cases.

A few questions - I should know the answers really but am not sure.

1)  Why is it more difficult to permanently exclude a child with a statement
of SEN ?2)  Does anyone know the processes that you have to go through if
you wish to permanently exclude a child with a statement ?
3)  When does the child have a statement - when the proposed statement is
issued or the final statement with all the hours etc on it.Many thanks for
your help
