Remote technology in school admission and exclusion appeal hearings: consultation

Proposal

The Scottish Government proposes that the ability to hold school admission and exclusion appeals using remote means is maintained on a permanent basis. In-person appeal hearings will be the default means by which appeal hearings are conducted. Where all parties agree to use remote means we propose video conferencing is the default remote means, and that telephone conferencing and wholly written appeals are only used where it is not possible to use video conferencing.
