Parenting orders..

In England and Wales, a local education authority can apply to the magistrates' court for a parenting order covering the parents of a child who has been excluded from school. If a parenting order is made, it means that you, as the parent, have to exercise control over the child and attend counseling or a guidance programmer. If you fail to keep to the terms of a parenting order without a good reason, you are guilty of a criminal offense and could be fined.
A local education authority or a school governing body may also apply for a parenting order even if a pupil has not been excluded from school, but has behaved in such a way that they could have been excluded.
