Permanent Exclusion (PEX) notification changes – New process for September 2024 - Reminder

Further to the notification sent out in the Summer term we are reminding schools that from September 2024 schools will need to alert the local authority of each PEX by completing a new Granicus PEX Notification form. To facilitate this change, please ensure that a Granicus account is set up for school contact/s who notify the local authority on Day 1 of the PEX. This will enable schools to save a copy of PEX notifications for internal school records. Please note that if schools have existing Granicus accounts for Inclusion Panel or TPP then school access is already in place.

The Exclusion and Access Team (previously the Inclusion Team) can be contacted on 01629 538809 or 01629539040 or CS.ExclusionAndAccessTeam@derbyshire.gov.uk for queries or assistance in completing the form.
