This area covers disputes and matters about a child’s schooling in England, including school admissions, school transport, special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) support, and the process of exclusions or disciplinary actions by schools.

Where a solicitor protects your position

Key decisions—such as placement on an EHCP, successful appeal against a school admission or exclusion, or obtaining suitable transport—can be decisive for a child’s education and wellbeing. A solicitor provides guidance on deadlines, procedural steps, rights of appeal, and ensures compliance with statutory duties, including safeguarding and child welfare considerations. The professional role is underpinned by professional regulation, indemnity, and the ability to represent clients in statutory processes when needed.

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.

Hannah Costley

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.
