Education

Claims against schools and education authorities appear to be constantly in the news. Claims numbers are rising. Professionals are scrutinised in everything they do and increasingly they have to seek the reassurance of experienced legal advice. We provide a complete service for all providers of education, from public sector schools and LEAs, independent schools and Trusts to colleges and universities. We also act for examination boards and school governors.

Our expertise encompasses sensitive matters such as:

• abuse
• bullying
• duty of care
• exclusion and reinstatement
• failure to educate (including dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, Asperger’s syndrome, autism and other learning difficulties)
• judicial review
• race, sex and disability discrimination.
