1. Summary

1.1 This paper reports on the current situation of the EOTAS Service with particular regard to staffing and accommodation and updates members on the ongoing monitoring and reporting of permanent exclusions from Hampshire mainstream and special schools. The report sets out the full year statistics for the 2002-03 academic year.

1.2 The paper also reports on the County Council's progress on the ....requirement, from September 2002, to make full-time provision available ....to permanently excluded pupils.

1.3 The paper also considers the effect of the budget consultation and agreement with the Schools forum of a `top-slice' of £500,000 of the £1.32m of preventative funding which was delegated to maintained secondary schools. This top-slice, when added to the EOTAS base budget, was estimated to allow provision for an average of approximately 192 permanently excluded pupils in the 2002/02 academic year, with secondary schools using the retained funding to support in-school behaviour management.

2. EOTAS Service - restructuring

2.1 The EOTAS paper to the Education Policy Review Committee meeting on 19 November 2002 reported, in some detail, on the background to and progress on the restructuring of the service.

2.2 The restructuring process was completed in January 2003, when appointments to posts of responsibility in individual Education Centres (e.g. responsibility for English, Maths, Science etc.) were finalised.

3. EOTAS Service - staffing

3.1 The EOTAS Service, in common with schools both locally and nationally, has experienced difficulties in recruiting suitably qualified and experienced staff. This has been more acute in some parts of the county than in others with Gosport, the New Forest and Andover having been areas of particular concern.

3.2 Officers from EOTAS have worked closely with staff from the Education Personnel Service to improve the recruitment of staff. Appointments have been made and, from September 2003, all seven Education Centres have been virtually fully staffed although the Bridge Education Centre, Eastleigh, began the new term without a substantive Teaching Team Leader or a Behaviour Support Team Leader. It is anticipated that appointments will be made to these posts for January 2004.

3.3 The Forest Education Centre, Dibden, has had an Acting Centre Manager for 12 months due to the long-term illness of the substantive Centre Manager. The retirement of that individual, as of 30 June 2003, means that the process to appoint a new Centre Manager for January 2004 is now in train.

3.4 Behaviour Support Teams have been working in 4 areas (Basingstoke, Farnborough and Aldershot, Fareham and Gosport, and Andover) for some time and funding to establish teams in all seven education areas was agreed in April 2003, 12 months ahead of schedule. Final appointments are currently being made and it is anticipated that all seven teams will be fully staffed by January 2004, with Educational Psychology time being purchased for each team. The recommendations of the Social Service Best Value Review are currently awaited in order to determine the level of support the teams will receive from Inclusion Social Workers. Negotiations with the Primary Care Trusts are taking place and Primary Mental Health Worker support will be in place in at least 4 of the Educational Areas by April 2004.

3.5 The Drug Advisory Response Team (DART) has been fully staffed throughout the year and team members have made a significant contribution to preventative strategies through their work with young people who have become involved in drug and substance misuse. The costs of the DART, of approximately £150,000p.a. have been met since April 2001, from Standards Fund 2004. This funding will cease as of 31 March and consideration is being given as to how continued funding can be achieved.

3.6 Exclusion Teams, based in the Winchester, Fleet and Havant Local Education Offices have also been fully staffed but have experienced sharply increased workloads. This has resulted from a rise in permanent exclusions, the subsequent rise in the preparation and presentation of increasingly complex and rigorous LEA `views' at Pupil Discipline Committee and Independent Appeal Panel hearings, a significant rise in fixed-term exclusions and the increased complexity and frequency of data gathering and presentation.

4. EOTAS Service - accommodation

4.1 EOTAS accommodation is regularly reviewed and monitored as part of the Education Department's strategic planning process. The Education Officer (EOTAS) has termly meetings with the Strategic Planning Manager and the ACEO (Schools) as well as representatives from the Property, Business and Regulatory Services, to review and discuss EOTAS accommodation issues.

4.2 The rise in permanent exclusions (see Section 5) and the requirement to make full-time provision for permanently excluded pupils (see Section 7) have placed increased pressure on EOTAS accommodation and additional accommodation will need to be provided at a number of Centres, particularly in Andover.

4.3 The closure of the Chawton Park (Alton) and Austen Unit (Basingstoke) sites, both due to close by July 2004, mean that additional accommodation is being provided at the Ashwood Education Centre, Basingstoke and the Linden Education Centre, Farnborough. Full details of ongoing and proposed works in respect of EOTAS accommodation are attached at Appendix 1.

4.4 Resources are being identified annually from New Deal for Schools Modernisation Fund allocations to meet the cost of these projects which will inevitably take some years to complete.

5. Permanent Exclusions

5.1 The number of permanent exclusions from Hampshire Schools reduced from a high of 364 in 1996/97 to a low of 152 in 2000/01.

5.2 Following central government changes to legislation and statutory guidance to school governing bodies and members of Independent Appeal Panels, since August 2000, it was widely predicted that permanent exclusions would begin to rise again, and this has been borne out by national and local statistics.

5.3 Nationally, permanent exclusions rose by some 11% in 2000/01 (compared to 1999/00) whilst for the same period in Hampshire they fell by 14% (from 177 to 152). In 2001/02 the national figure rose by a further 4% whilst in Hampshire permanent exclusions rose by 50% (from 152 to 229 or 0.132% of the pupil population).

5.4 In the 2002/03 academic year, permanent exclusions from Hampshire schools have risen, marginally, (by 1.7%, i.e. from 229 to 233). National figures are not yet available. Table 1 shows overall figures for the 2002/03 academic year, broken down by local education areas, and compares them to previous years. Figures in brackets show the % fall or rise compared to the previous year. The tables and statistics at Appendices 2 and 2a give a more detailed picture for the 2002/03 academic year and provide a comparison against the previous year.

5.5 In addition some permanently excluded pupils were directed back into schools by either governors' Pupil Discipline Committees (PDCs) or Independent Appeal Panels (IAPs) and are not included in the figures for permanent exclusions. Table two shows the figures for the 2002/03 academic year with the figures for the previous year shown in brackets.

5.6 In January 2003 the Department for Education and Skills published, "Improving Behaviour and Attendance: Guidance on Exclusion from Schools and Pupil Referral Units", which replaced sections of DfES Circular 10/99 "Social Inclusion: Pupil Support".

5.7 As part of the new guidance Independent Appeal Panels were, for the first time, empowered to uphold appeals against permanent exclusion but, in "exceptional cases" (e.g. where there had been an irretrievable breakdown in relations between pupils and teachers or parents and the school) come to a decision that, "reinstatement in the excluding school is not a practical way forward in the best interests of all concerned". In such circumstances the permanent exclusion would be overturned but the pupil would not be re-instated and his/her name would be removed from the roll of the school. Table 3 shows the number of permanently excluded pupils, since 20 January 2003, where the exclusion has been "overturned but not reinstated".

6 Looked-after Children

6.1 It is a requirement of the County Council's Quality Protects programme, as well as being included within the DfES guidance on the education of young people in public care, that statistics regarding permanent exclusions of looked-after children are recorded and monitored. Table 4 shows the numbers of looked-after children who were permanently excluded in the 2002/03 academic year and compares them with the previous year (figures in brackets).

6.2 The number of looked-after children of statutory school age in Hampshire is turbulent due to children coming into and leaving care, but currently averages about 800. This represents 0.46% of all pupils of statutory school age (173,032). The number of looked-after children permanently excluded (9) represents 3.88% of all exclusions (232). Whilst this is still a significantly higher representation than the county average for permanent exclusions it is also a significant reduction, in both real and percentage terms on last year's figures (15 and 6.5% respectively).

6.3 The work of the Education Officer (Inclusion), the corporate Looked-After Children Team, CAPLAC (Corporate Action Planning for Looked After Children,) the cross-departmental strategy group for the education of Looked After Children, and CLASP (Children Looked After Support Panel) a multi-professional panel which problem solves individual Looked After Children cases, have all contributed to the fall in permanent exclusions amongst looked-after children.

6.4 All branches in the Education department, in consultation and liaison with other county council services, will continue to support the education of looked-after children and will seek to identify and resolve issues which prevent looked-after children accessing their educational entitlement and development.

7. Full-time Provision

7.1 From 1 September 2002 LEAs have been required to make arrangements for all permanently excluded pupils to receive full-time provision. This does not have to be met through full-time attendance at an Education Centre but can be met by mixed packages of, for example, attendance at an Education Centre, attendance at a College of Further/Higher Education, Work Training placements and distance-learning (e.g. on-line education programmes accessed via computers).

7.2 Based on analysis of data on permanent exclusions over the previous five years, Hampshire drew up a robust plan for full-time provision, based on 150 places, which was approved by the DfES in August 2000.

7.3 The actual number of places available on 1 September 2002 was 154 but the rise in permanent exclusions meant that, at the beginning of September 2002, there were 197 permanently excluded pupils on the roll of EOTAS.

7.4 By the end of the autumn term 2002, that figure had fallen to 168 but the continued high level of permanent exclusions meant that by the end of the spring term 2003, the figure had risen again to 236 and by the end of the summer term, 2003, stood at 283.

7.5 The shortfall in places has been addressed, to some extent, by the completion of building projects at the Linden Education Centre, Farnborough, and the Ashwood Education Centre, Basingstoke. The inability to provide additional places at the Andover Education Centre (see accommodation report at Appendix 1) has had an adverse impact on the County Council's ability to meet its duty to make full-time provision for pupils in this area. This has been exacerbated by difficulties in securing places in the local College. Pupils attending the Andover Centre currently have access to at least 12.5 hours of provision per week with most also attending additional college or work related training places, taking provision to between 14.5 - 17.5 hours per week. Pupils are also given work assignments to be completed at home.

7.6 Levels of full-time provision since September 2002 are detailed below.

TOTALS 283 100.00

iv) the position at the autumn half term, 2003 was:

No. of permanently excluded pupils 229

No: %

· Pupils able to access full-time provision 196 85.60

· Pupils waiting for Work Related Training placements 0 0.00

· Pupils awaiting additional accommodation provision 23 10.00

· Pupils not receiving full-time provision for other reasons 10 4.40

(mainly on phased introduction programmes leading

to full-time provision)

TOTALS 229 100.00

The EOTAS Service is working with other County Council services and departments, local colleges, local work placements and other outside providers to ensure that all permanently excluded pupils receive at least 20 hours of provision per week. Continued high levels of exclusion may mean, however, that this will not be achieved.

8 EOTAS Service - budget

8.1 The level of spending on the provision of education other than at school continues to be volatile and difficult to predict as it is subject to individual decisions by schools and exclusions appeal panels.

8.2 The service is demand led, but unlike schools cannot ever claim to be `full' given the statutory duty to provide education for excluded and unwell pupils. Nor is it possible to enter into Service Level Agreements (SLA) with schools. Schools do not know, at the beginning of the year, how many pupils they might exclude so it is not possible to draw up an SLA. The County Council, therefore, has to respond to demand which it cannot predict.

8.3 The 19 November 2002 report to the Education Policy Review Committee warned of a possible overspend of £200,000 on the EOTAS budget brought about by the additional resources required to meet the rise in permanent exclusions. The actual overspend, at the end of the 2002/03 financial year was £148,000 and this was reported to the Education Policy Review Committee at the meeting of 15 July. This overspend was due, mainly, to the sharply increased levels of exclusion and the associated costs of full-time provision and increased staffing costs including allocations to schools to pay for staff (mainly Learning Support Assistants) to support the behaviour management of children at risk of exclusion in those cases where the EOTAS service had not been able to supply staff.

8.4 The EOTAS base budget for the 2002/03 financial year continued to be predicated, largely, on the LEA target figure for permanent exclusion of 152, with exclusions above this level being funded by Pupil Retention Grant (PRG) recoupment. Recoupment totalled £597,000 in the 2002/03 financial year, which funded education provision for an average figure of approximately 200 pupils. The budget for 2003/04 replaced the PRG recoupment with a fixed allocation of £500,000 (agreed with Schools Forum), from the money voted by Elected Members to replace PRG funding, within an overall budget of £5,106,000. This equates to a funding provision for an approximate average of 192 pupils.

8.5 The continuing high levels of exclusion indicate that permanent exclusions will remain at approximately 230 with associated costs for additional staff, resources and accommodation, particularly in meeting the requirement for full-time provision. This, added to the likely shortfall in PRG funding of approximately £97,000 (had the previous system, whereby the LEA recouped £3,000 per secondary exclusion continued, the level of recoupment would have been approximately £597,000 i.e. 199 secondary exclusions x £3,000 per exclusion) meant that the predicted overspend for the EOTAS budget for the 2003/04 financial year, as reported at the 1^st quarter review, was £365,000. This figure has now been revised downwards to £240,000. This has been achieved through three management actions; the salaries of a number of Behaviour Support Team (Behaviour Support Team) staff (who had been appointed prior to Behaviour Support Team funding being available and who were coded to the EOTAS Budget) being transferred to the Behaviour Support Team budget; the non-replacement of a number of EOTAS staff who have moved on; ceasing financial support to schools for behaviour management (see para 8.3). This reduction in staffing means, however, that levels of provision, particularly of preventative work and re-integration support, are likely to suffer. The issue of the funding of exclusions has been agreed with the Schools' Forum and it has been made clear that, if exclusions continue to rise the cost of meeting the demand will be a first claim on the 2004/05 budget.

8.6 Possible areas for current and future savings are:

· A further reduction in preventative work with schools, particularly at the secondary level. Most preventative work in the primary sector is undertaken by the Behaviour Support Teams which, although they are part of the overall EOTAS Service are funded separately.

· A further reduction in levels of support for children being re-integrated following either a permanent exclusion or a period of emotional vulnerability/medical unwellness.

· A reduction of provision for children being educated whilst in hospital.

· The closure of the Chawton Park and Austen Unit sites (see para. 4.3 and Appendix 1)

8.7 There would, however, be problems with:

· Staff redundancy costs - because of the nature of the redundancy process it is unlikely that any staff would be made redundant before the end of the financial year. Savings through redundancy would begin to take effect in the next financial year

· A rise in the number of exclusions due to the fall in preventative work

· Children spending longer periods of time in EOTAS due to the reduction in re-integration support.

9. Conclusion

9.1 Even though the rise in exclusions in the 2002/03 academic year has been marginal compared to the previous year, the overall high level of exclusions remains a cause for concern.

9.2 Data analysis will be used to identify those schools/areas where exclusions remain at high levels and discussions will take place between EOTAS staff and individuals and groups of headteachers to determine how EOTAS preventative resources can be most effectively focussed and used. It should be noted, however, that if the high level of exclusions is sustained, or rises further, then the statutory responsibility to provide full-time provision will impact on the ability of EOTAS to undertake preventative work. This is a matter for further concern as preventative work offers a better long-term solution.

9.3 The EOTAS Best Value Review, which is ongoing, and is due to report in December, 2003, has included liaison with other LEAs and the opportunity to share good practice and effective strategies to reduce exclusions.

9.4 The EOTAS service will continue to work with other County Council services such as the Youth Service, Education Psychology Service, Education Welfare Service, Social Services and the Special Educational Needs Service as well as outside agencies such as Connexions, to provide effective behaviour management support to schools to prevent permanent exclusion.

10. Recommendations

i) that members of the Education Policy Review Committee advise the Executive Member for Education to note the report.

ii) That the EOTAS service continues to work pro-actively with schools and other services and agencies to provide effective behaviour management support and advice.

iii) That any resource implications identified in or as a result of this report be subject to consideration as part of the 2004/05 Education Department budget strategy.

Appendix 1

EOTAS accommodation - September 2003

1. Introduction

1.1 The restructuring of the EOTAS Service, in 2002, included the establishment of seven single site Education Centres to replace the previous poorly co-ordinated pattern of Pupil Referral Units and Grouped Tuition Centres.

0.2 Where single site operation is possible Education Centres make education provision across all key stages (i.e. Key Stage 1 - Key Stage 4) and all client groups (i.e. permanently excluded, emotionally vulnerable and dual-registered pupils). Education Centres will also be the work base for Behaviour Support Teams and the resource and professional base for remote workers such as home tutors and hospital tutors.

0.3 In those areas where it has not yet been possible to establish single-site provision Education Centres operate on a `virtual' basis (i.e. being managed from a main site but operating on two or more sites).

0.4 Current EOTAS accommodation is listed below:

0.4.1 Ashwood Education Centre, Basingstoke

Provision is currently on two sites - the Poynings site, which is shared with a Social Services Day Centre, and Worting Junior School (Austen Unit for emotionally vulnerable pupils including some pregnant schoolgirls and schoolgirl mothers).

In order to meet increased demand for places a double temporary unit, to provide 2 additional teaching spaces as well as pupil toilets, has been put on the Poynings site and will be operational from September 2003.

The Austen Unit will close in July 2004. Staff and pupils will transfer to the Poynings site where an additional double temporary unit will be provided.

The cost of these buildings is anticipated to be approximately £46,000.

The Behaviour Support Team is currently based in the Wendan Unit, Beechdown Primary School but negotiations are ongoing regarding alternative accommodation.

0.4.2 Linden Education Centre, Farnborough

Buildings on the Farnborough site were recently upgraded and enlarged in a project costing approximately £445,000, following a successful New Deal for Schools bid. The site also houses a double and a single temporary classroom which provide accommodation for the Behaviour Support Team and Key Stages 1 and 2 pupils. Because of the ongoing demand for places, principally due to the high levels of exclusion in the area, further temporary accommodation will be made available during the autumn term, 2003. This will provide additional teaching spaces for Art, ICT and Food Technology, a space which can be used as a hall and/or for activities, a group/recreation room, an interview/withdrawal room, 3 staff offices, a staff room, a site manager's office and toilets for pupils and staff.

This new space will also provide accommodation for those pupils and staff who will transfer from the Chawton Park Site, Alton, when it closes in July 2004. The cost of transfer (approx £15,000) will be met from revenue and the cost of internal adaptations (approx £30,000) from EOTAS devolved formula capital.

A Targeted Capital Fund bid, for permanent accommodation, was submitted earlier this year but was unsuccessful, hence the need for temporary accommodation until capital funding can be identified to build the extension.

0.4.3 Woodlands Education Centre, Cowplain

The Woodlands Education Centre is currently based in temporary accommodation following the arson attack, in June 2002, which destroyed the previous high quality permanent buildings.

An additional double temporary classroom has been placed on site, operational from September 2003, which will provide for teaching space and a base for the Behaviour Support Team for this area. The cost of this building is being met from the County Council Fire Re-instatement Budget.

A project is well under way to relocate the Woodlands Education Centre in new, purpose built, permanent accommodation on the site of the former Park House Primary School, Havant. The cost of this project will be close to £3.25m (including fees) and will be met partly from the County Council's Fire Re-instatement Budget and partly from other capital programme resources.

0.4.4 Quayside Education Centre, Gosport

Quayside Education Centre is located in temporary buildings on the site of St. Vincent College, Gosport. The college has been very supportive and its help is much appreciated. An additional temporary classroom was provided during the summer term, 2003, principally to create space for counselling and 1-1 sessions with pupils. It will also provide space for a small library and a small recreational area for pupils.

The Behaviour Support Team in this area has been located at Oak Meadow Primary School, Fareham, but will be moving to a new site at Woodcot Primary School, Gosport, in October 2003. A small unit for 8 - 10 emotionally vulnerable pupils is sited in Haslar Hospital but there is little security of tenure there. Permanent accommodation in the area is, therefore, being sought and there are discussions with St. Vincent College about the possible use of buildings there.

0.4.5 Bridge Education Centre, Eastleigh

This Education Centre is housed on two sites, the former Tankerville Special School site, Eastleigh and the Woodside Centre site, Colden Common.

A double temporary building, with pupil toilets, will be located on the Woodside Centre site, during the autumn term, 2003, to provide additional teaching space. The cost of this is estimated at £25,000.

A project is being developed which will see £764,000 from the Education Department Capital budget, over the current and next financial years, (as well as a significant contribution from the P&R landlord Capital Programme towards significant repair and maintenance liabilities on this SCOLA building) being spent on the former Tankerville building to provide a single-site Education Centre for the area. When completed this will allow relocation of pupils and staff from the Woodside Centre and the closure of that centre. The Behaviour Support Team is already accommodated on the Tankerville site.

0.4.6 Forest Educational Centre, Dibden

The Forest Education Centre is housed in good quality temporary accommodation. The outcome of the review of surplus places in the Area 6 might give rise to a potential permanent solution. The newly established Behaviour Support Team in the area is housed in permanent accommodation at The Clifford Centre on the site of Abbotswood Junior School, Totton.

0.4.7 Andover Education Centre, Andover

This Education Centre is based in accommodation which forms part of Cricklade College, Andover. There is no capacity for expansion in or on the college site and, as demand for places has grown, this has had an adverse effect on the County Council's ability to meet its duty to make full-time provision for all excluded pupils (see current levels of provision in para 7.5). In order to do so it will be necessary either to establish a second site for permanently excluded pupils or to relocate the Centre into larger accommodation. Discussions with the Strategic Planning Manager and ACEO schools, regarding new accommodation are ongoing as are discussions with headteachers in the Andover area.

The Behaviour Support Team in Andover is housed in accommodation rented from Shepherd's Spring Junior School.

The Andover Education Centre is, currently, the EOTAS service's highest priority in terms of accommodation provision.
