Where a solicitor protects your position

Policies determine critical, time-bound decisions and procedures that affect a pupil’s safety, rights and education. A solicitor provides assurance through clarity of terms, alignment with legislation such as the Children Act 1989, Education Act 2002, and GDPR/UK GDPR, and by ensuring appropriate authorisations, record-keeping, and governance controls are in place. They help prepare responses to safeguarding concerns, disciplinary steps, and allegations, safeguarding the school’s position and the rights of pupils and staff.
