The Access and Inclusion Service

At the Access and Inclusion Service, we support parents with their legal duty to ensure their children receive a suitable education.

We monitor school attendance, and help parents whose children have attendance difficulties. We take court action against those whose children fail to regularly attend school.

We also monitor the education of home-educated children.

In addition we are responsible for:

  • child employment
  • children in entertainment  
  • exclusions
  • children missing education

Notes

Inclusion Support Officers (ISOs) work with both schools and families to

  • offer support and guidance in relation to exclusion from school. 
  • ensure that the correct processes are followed and that parents are aware of their rights to make representationsabout an exclusion (fixed period or permanent).
  • they attend all Discipline Committee Meetings for permanent exclusions from Maintained schools and can attend by invitation from a parent for meetings related to permanent exclusion from an Academy.
