reasonable force to control or restrain pupils in certain circumstances, including dealing
with disruptive behaviour.
7. Where it is clear that an investigation by the police or children’s social care services is
unnecessary, or the strategy discussion or initial valuation decides that is the case, the LADO
should discuss the next steps with the case manager. In those circumstances, the options
open to the school or FE college depend on the nature and circumstances of the allegation
and the evidence and information available. This will range from taking no further action to
dismissal or a decision not to use the person’s services in future. Suspension should not be
the default position: an individual should be suspended only if there is no reasonable
alternative.
8. In some cases, further enquiries will be needed to enable a decision about how to
proceed. If so, the LADO should discuss with the case manager how and by whom the
investigation will be undertaken. In straightforward cases, the investigation should normally
be undertaken by a senior member of the school or FE college’s staff.
