Managing complaints in schools: CPD for school leaders

Our managing complaints in schools CPD training programme provides school and trust leaders with the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to effectively manage complaints in schools.

Delivered through bite-sized sessions which allow time for your learning to embed, each training course includes breakout sessions and discussions to provides the opportunity for you to network with colleagues who manage school complaints in their settings. There’ll also be plenty of time for all of your complaints management questions to be answered.

The interactive training course is led by our expert education lawyers who advise schools and trusts on complaints in schools every day. Through this school leader training course, delegates will gain a clear understanding of the legal framework governing school complaints, take away best practice advice and top tips and make valuable new connections along the way.
