School Legal Support Service
Our School Legal Support Service is intended to provide schools with access to legal advice in a number of areas relevant to education.
Our school legal support does not include employment law as that is already covered under the HR Advisory service. The service is not available as a stand-alone, and requires that the school already subscribe to our HR Advisory support package.
Our service will only cover issues that arise in the ordinary course of operation as a school. It will not, for instance, cover the commercial activities of a school, though we can include those areas by agreement at the outset.
The service includes advice on:
- School Exclusions
- School Admissions
- Workplace Immigration
- Parental complaints
- Secondment Agreements
- Consultancy Agreements
- Contents and interpretation of commercial agreements
- Disputes arising from commercial agreements with suppliers
The service does not include:
- Attendance at school or elsewhere
- Advice on property law or documents
- Document drafting
- Issuing or defending legal proceedings
- Work other than advising

"With performance management now lying at the heart of the new OFSTED framework, effective HR is key to School Improvement. Without robust HR, there will always be a natural ceiling beyond which a school cannot improve."
