Short answer
Managed move follow-up enquiries should identify the agreement, school communications, review dates, attendance, behaviour support, SEND or EHC plan issues, pressure concerns and any exclusion or complaint route. Legal4U cannot decide whether a managed move is appropriate.

Flag Pressure, Exclusion And Complaint Questions
Tell Legal4U whether parents felt pressured, whether the move followed an off-site direction, whether exclusion was mentioned, whether the local authority was involved and whether complaint or review deadlines exist. An education specialist must review the route.
