Education solicitors | Solicitors.com

Education solicitors will provide legal advice on all aspects relating to children with Special Educational Needs, problems with school admissions, and if a child has been excluded from attending school, along with any statement issues.
This guide will summarise some of the situations and solutions relating to education.

The majority of the legislation regarding education is covered in the Education Act and if you would like to read the full Act, plus any amendments, we recommend that you visit www.legislation.gov.uk and search - Education Act

The Act of 1996 deals specifically with children with special educational needs (SEN), and was introduced to ensure those with SEN have a framework to ensure their needs are provided for.

The government is introducing changes to the educational needs legislation from September 2014; most local authorities have already implemented changes to ensure they are ready.

Most problems are best discussed with the school, as schools will have an officer trained for special educational needs and most problems are dealt with without any legal intervention. If problems persist, or you are not satisfied with the action taken by the school, you should then seek legal help.
