Labour's off-rolling crackdown could finally "shed light on a practice that is currently invisible" but must be supported by councils and trusts to work, experts have said. The schools white paper unveiled plans to tighten up scrutiny over pupil movements, and to interrogate the leaders of schools suspected of illegal exclusions or other shady methods to skew cohorts. Kiran Gill, chief executive of inclusion charity The Difference, said this "has been an area of insufficient data accountability". "It shouldn't be up to investigative journalists or brilliant statisticians to highlight where there's a system challenge."
