Sending Home ?? An illegal exclusion

Hello, Can anyone help ?

I am confused, can a school send home a child on the grounds of behaviour but not record this as an exclusion ?

My son's mainstream junior school has called me 5 times to pick him up and take him home on the grounds of his behaviour. My son has Asd and a statement.

Having done lots of reading online am confused as to whether these sending homes are illegal exclusions or  not ??

I cant see anywhere if schools can send children home without having to formally record the absence in some way ? Help !!

Thanks x

    I have found section 13, Informal or unofficial ie illegal exclusions, have quoted this in my letter of complaint to the governing body.

    The onus has been very much on me to be 'on call' which has been very stressful, never knowing when the phone might ring just being on high alert all the time ready to drop everything and go to school.

    I will make sure I read through all of improving behaviour and attendance and have been reading up on the Sen code of practice too.

    Thanks again for your time :)
