Background
Many children with SEND, including those with ADHD and autism, are regularly removed from lessons and placed in behaviour rooms instead of being supported. There is currently no national requirement to record this data, meaning pupils can spend significant time out of education without visibility or accountability. Recording this information would help identify patterns, safeguard children’s mental health, and ensure support is provided rather than punishment.
