    This area covers challenging education decisions and policies through pre-action steps and, if needed, a judicial review in the courts. It includes challenges to school admission decisions, special educational needs, disciplinary actions, timetabling and exam arrangements, and guidance or policy acts by local authorities or government bodies. A solicitor drafts and serves pre-action correspondence, compiles supporting evidence, and, if required, raises a claim for judicial review in the High Court. The aim is to protect a young person’s educational rights and access to appropriate provision.

    Rebecca Roberts Your solicitor Rebecca Roberts Associate Solicitor 5.0 from 4 client reviews
    “ We cannot thank Rebecca Roberts enough for her expertise, kindness, and unwavering support during one of the most difficult times in our family’s life. Rebecca not only brought exceptional knowledge of SEND law and educational rights, but also genuine compassion and empathy that made us feel seen, heard, and protected. She was always patient, thorough, and incredibly responsive. What felt overwhelming suddenly became manageable, simply because Rebecca was by our side. She empowered us with information, stood firm when we were unheard, and offered calm reassurance at every step. A truly outstanding solicitor and a wonderful person. We recommend her with all our hearts.”
