Guidelines for Fixed Period and Permanent Exclusions updated

The Children's Services exclusions guidance is only produced in an electronic format on the Hertfordshire Grid for Learning.

This is the official exclusion guidance from the DfE which schools should have regard to and follow unless there is good reason to do otherwise.  The HCC guidance augments this.
