    Education work within charitable organisations covers the governance and operation of charities that promote education, including schools, colleges and other learning bodies. A solicitor in this area helps with drafting and reviewing governing documents, registering and maintaining charitable status, compliance with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, and dealings with funders, grant agreements and partnerships. They also advise on safeguarding, employment and governance issues, and assist with disputes involving beneficiaries, trustees or regulators, ensuring activities stay within charitable purposes and funding rules.

    “We recently met with Debbie, Sylviane and the team at Slater Heelis to review upcoming employment law changes and our wider HR and policy arrangements. The session was extremely helpful, practical and well balanced. What stood out was the ability to combine strong legal knowledge with a clear understanding of how organisations actually operate in practice, particularly within a charity and care environment. Rather than simply focusing on compliance, the discussion helped us think more broadly about organisational structure, policy ownership and employment risk as we continue to develop as a leadership team. We came away with clearer priorities, practical next steps and plenty to reflect on internally. Thank you again to Debbie, Sylviane and the wider team for such a constructive and welcoming session.”
