This is such an important area and I'm glad that attention is being paid to #PupilExits.

That said, the EPI's definition of unexplained exit (UE) and the decision to rank LAs and trusts is, I think, flawed. (Thread)

UE is itself a very misleading term. It suggests that some explanation has been sought and found lacking, but what it actually refers to is a move that doesn't fit into a category that the researchers can measure based on other data... #PupilExits

1/11 The #TimpsonReview uses the word "governor" (usually alongside "trustee") 21 times, including four times with reference to diversity and ten times to a relatively short section on how important it is that they fulfil their review functions well. #ukgovchat 2/11 Just to be clear: governors/trustees must consider all parental representations from parents; they must automatically consider the reinstatement of children excluded for >15 days in a term, or permanently. #TimpsonReview #ukgovchat
