The local authority (LA) proactively supports all schools in working together to avoid permanent exclusion. The Supported Transfer Protocol in Coventry seeks to improve existing practice and recognises that early intervention and support can bring the longer term benefits of maintaining school placements or act as an early indicator for more specialist provision.

In some cases, a supported transfer may be deemed appropriate for a pupil for whom there are continuing issues with their behaviour that could put them at risk of permanent exclusion. A school initiates the transfer for a pupil at the point of permanent exclusion. Supported transfers should only be carried out with the full knowledge and co-operation of all parties, including the parents, the LA and any other relevant professionals, and when all available strategies have been explored.
