Commentary Part 7: Discipline, Behaviour and Exclusion Section 102: Reintegration interviews
497.Subsection (1) introduces a new power which enables regulations to be made by the Secretary of State, and the National Assembly for Wales:
498.The purpose of such an interview is to engage with the parent and so to assist the reintegration of a pupil excluded for a fixed period and to promote an improvement in his behaviour. Section 99 amends section 21 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 to say that a court must take into account the unreasonable failure by a parent to attend a reintegration interview when deciding whether to make a parenting order.
