Record and report use of isolation and behaviour rooms for discipline

Record and report use of isolation and behaviour rooms for discipline — 21 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Require schools to record and report every use of isolation or behaviour rooms for disciplinary reasons, including duration, reason, and whether the pupil has SEND.

Additional details

Pupils are often removed from lessons into isolation or behaviour rooms for discipline, sometimes repeatedly, leading to significant loss of education. There is no consistent national requirement to record how often this occurs, how long pupils miss teaching, or whether vulnerable groups such as pupils with SEND are disproportionately affected. Recording and reporting would improve transparency, safeguarding and accountability.
