What can I do if my daughter is expelled from school

This information applies to England and Wales

Children can be excluded from school for a short time if they have broken a rule that the school considers important. They can be excluded permanently (expelled) if the school decides that their behaviour has been very unacceptable. The ways in which this happens will depend on what sort of school your daughter goes to. The ways in which a parent can appeal will also vary according to the type of school.

If your daughter is excluded from school there are organisations that can help, for example, the Advisory Centre for Education.

For more information about exclusion from school, see Problems at school.
For more information about organisations that can help, see Education: organisations which give information and advice.
