This work covers the rights of students within England in schools, colleges and universities, including how they're admitted, treated in discipline, and supported with learning needs. A solicitor in this area helps with complaints about schools and universities, reviews of exclusions or disciplinary sanctions, disputes over SEN provision, appeals on exam or assessment outcomes, and grievances about admissions or conducted procedures. They may gather evidence, advise on campaigns or statutory protections, and prepare or respond to formal complaints and appeals.
The solicitor handles complex procedures and interactions with schools, colleges, universities, local authorities and ombuds, such as challenging exclusions, negotiating SEN support, advising on Admission Appeals, and pursuing remedies through the Education and Skills funding bodies or the independent ombudsman where relevant. They navigate statutory frameworks, safeguarding and safeguarding investigations, and potentially tribunal processes for education disputes, ensuring adherence to procedural deadlines and evidentiary requirements.
