It will seek to develop a comprehensive strategy, delivered through a countywide framework for the operation of Behaviour & Attendance Partnerships to:
| Decrease the rate of fixed term and permanent exclusions | |
| Increase the rate of attendance in all Norfolk schools | |
| Draw together the 5 area Pupil Referral Units and their management committees within the context of Behaviour & Attendance Partnerships. | |
| Ensure that there is a coordinated plan for the commissioning of alternative educational provision for those young people who are either not in school or at risk of being excluded. |
