education

The UK’s education system operates in an environment of intense regulation. Browne Jacobson’s experienced team of lawyers has a national reputation for providing advice and services in this specialist area, with particular expertise in the successful defence of Local Education Authorities.

The team handles all cases from the provision of education to school management, including dyslexia and special educational needs, bullying and abuse, school trip supervision and exclusion appeals, and is a standing advisor to OFSTED. The team’s continuous work in this area enables them to approach each case in the most appropriate way.

In addition to legal defence, the team provides risk management services and advice to identify problems before they arise along with training packages and seminars to keep clients informed. By accessing expertise from across the firm, the team caters for all legal requirements, for example employers’ liability for issues such as work-related stress.
