The Department for Education (DfE) has released new guidance to clarify what schools can do to bar or remove individuals from the school premises. The guidance, entitled Controlling access to school premises, outlines schools’ rights and responsibilities regarding access to the site, and how schools should handle unwanted individuals on the premises. The guidance is available here (external link).
Governors and trustees should be aware of the responsibility they hold for ensuring children’s safety while they are in school.
