Reporting and Review

Stockport Family will monitor and review Education Penalty Notices at regular intervals.

The LA shall keep records of Education Penalty Notices which include:

  • a copy of each notice issued
  • a record of all payments made and on what dates payment was made
  • whether the notice was withdrawn and on what grounds
  • whether the recipient was prosecuted for the offence for which the notice was issued

A child’s attendance in an individual case is reviewed:

  • on request for an Education Penalty Notice from another agency
  • on the issue of the formal warning
  • at the expiry of the fifteen school day period following the issue of the formal warning
  • on the date of prosecution under section 444 of the Education Act 1996

Appropriate records will be kept of cases charting their progress.

Statistics will also be produced on:

  • the number of requests to issue an Education Penalty Notice and the requesting agency
  • the number of formal warnings issued (and the issuing agency)
  • the number of Education Penalty Notices issued (and the issuing agency)
  • the number of Education Penalty Notices paid, when and how much
  • the number of requests for withdrawals
  • the number of notices withdrawn and the grounds of the withdrawal
  • the outcome of those cases taken to court

These statistics will be available to all partner agencies.

Stockport Family will amend the general enforcement strategy as appropriate.
