Error 2280 occurs when an invalid exclusion reason is used for suspensions recorded before September 2020. New exclusion reasons have been introduced, and users must amend any incorrect reasons to valid ones from the appropriate time frame. The process involves editing the exclusion reason in the system and regenerating the census to clear the error.
This error is relating to the reason you've used when recording a suspension.
For exclusions from September 2020 onwards, we’ve added these new reasons for you to use:
- OW - Use or threat of use of an offensive weapon or prohibited item
- LG - Abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity
- DS - Abuse relating to disability
- MT - Inappropriate use of social media or online technology
- PH - Wilful and repeated transgression of protective measures in place to protect public health
The following exclusion reasons are no longer valid and will not be accepted in your census return:
- Verbal abuse/threatening behaviour (general)
- Physical Assault/violent behaviour (general)
- Drug or alcohol related
- Other
This means that you will need to select the closest exclusion reason that is applicable. We are unable to advise which exclusion types to use, so if you are unsure which to record, please contact the DfE.
To fix this error, you'll need to change the reason to the most appropriate reason that existed for use when the exclusion took place.
Go to Students > Behaviour > Permanent exclusions or Suspensions. Set the date in the filters back to the last academic year and you'll see the exclusion that needs amending.
Here you can see the reason recorded, which should not be used in this time frame. Click the exclusion. Click Edit in the slide over.
Click the X to remove the incorrect exclusion reason, and select the appropriate one in the drop-down menu. Then click Save Changes.
Remember to regenerate your census to see that the error has been cleared!
