This area covers how schools operate and how parents and children interact with school rules, admissions and disciplinary procedures within England’s education system. A solicitor practising here handles matters such as challenging or appealing school decisions, drafting or reviewing school policies, representing clients at exclusion and disciplinary hearings, advising on safeguarding obligations, and guiding families through special educational needs processes and appeals to the SEND tribunal. The work is shaped by statutory duties, Ofsted oversight, and Department for Education guidance that governs school behavior, admissions, and safeguarding requirements.
The key concern is protecting a pupil’s or family’s position when a school administration makes a binding decision, such as an exclusion, a placement review, or a SEN decision. A solicitor provides regulated representation in hearings, ensures deadline-driven responses are timely, and helps navigate appeals to the first-tier tribunal (SEND). They also advise on safeguarding duties, consent for data sharing, and the implications of school policies on attendance, transport, and transfer to alternative provisions.

After my sons EHCP got refused I came across Samantha, I called up and had a chat explained what I needed and how do I go around it. Samantha explained everything. What options I had, helped me every step of the way. No question was to big or to small. She made me feel really comfortable, and at ease with such a stressful situation. Wanting to get it right, with no fuss or issues. I can not thank Samantha enough. My son now has his EHCP.

Tagged solicitor Hannah Costley
2 years ago my life was turned upside down when an accusation from out the blue came to light which put my future career as a doctor in jeopardy. Due to the seriousness of the situation, we went out in search of someone who would be able to support and defend me in this battle. My sister found Hannah online. Since then we have worked together in this long fought battle navigating through interviews, appeals and hearings in order to keep my dream of practicing alive. Despite having some setbacks along the way, Hannah has provided me with excellent advice, worked with me each and every step of the way, helping me prepare documents, references and prepare for big hearing days. She also provided me with access to excellent baristas who represented me during the course of this case. I would highly recommend Hannah for any kind of legal work, as she is very honest, personable and great person to work with. Communication has been really good and i really appreciate all the support she has given throughout this journey. Due to our work together i am now one step closer to fulfilling a lifelong dream of mine.
