Remote technology in school admission and exclusion appeal hearings: consultation

Consulting proposing that the ability to hold school admission and exclusion appeals using remote technology continues on a permanent basis. We are gathering views and evidence on the suitability of their use in appeal hearings.


Questions

1. Do you agree with the proposal that the use of remote means for appeal hearings should remain?

2. Do you agree that video conferencing should be the default option and telephone conferencing, or wholly written means be used only where it is not possible to use video-conferencing?

3. Do you agree that remote means should only be used where all parties agree?

4. Are there any other improvements that should be made to how remote means is used in appeal hearings, for example, to mitigate the risk of digital exclusion?
