Answer
A public consultation on draft statutory guidance on the Reduction and Management of Restrictive Practices in Educational Settings closed on the 10 November 2023. I have considered analysis from the responses to the consultation and asked officials to work with stakeholders to revise and refine the draft guidance, reflecting on the issues raised.
The need to repeal Article 4 (1) (c) of the Education (Northern Ireland) Order 1998 will be considered in the context of the revised guidance.
