    School placements cover decisions about where a child attends school, how a place is allocated, and the ongoing support a pupil receives. A solicitor in England and Wales who works in this area handles admissions, transfers, and appeals, challenges to placement decisions, and disputes over SEN provision or safeguarding commitments. They draft responses to local authorities, represent clients at school admissions and exclusion appeals, and assist with creating or challenging education-based placement plans and accompanying legal documentation.

    Victoria Rees Your solicitor Victoria Rees Associate 5.0 from 2 client reviews
    “Samantha’s support throughout our son’s EHCP and annual review meetings was invaluable. Despite the ongoing complexities and rigidity of the process, her guidance enabled us to identify important factors we hadn’t previously considered and to build a strong case for our son’s change of provision. Her expertise was instrumental in securing the right provision for him and in navigating the whole process; there is absolutely no doubt about that. I would not hesitate to recommend her services and request her help in the future when needed. We are deeply grateful for her dedication and for helping us achieve the best possible outcome for our son.”
