We are extremely proud of our constant success rate of over 90% for the last decade (most recently 97%) and we believe that whatever your problem, we can help. In relation to our schools work - We are unique in our understanding, depth of knowledge and experience of the legal challenges that schools can face surrounding education, special educational needs and disability. We advise on underfunded EHC Plans, Notional Budgets and the £6,000 cap, misuse of the statutory duty to admit sometimes requiring building works and funding to the detriment of other pupils’ (successful resistance is possible). We also advise schools about maladministration and investigation following complaints to the Standards & Testing Agency (STA), about national curriculum assessments, accuracy or correctness, Admissions & Exclusions, OFSTED, Data Protection, Contract Terms, the Equality Act, Deputyship, DOLS and Restraint. Having gained a full understanding of all the features of an education organisation that make it different from a work place in commerce or industry, we quietly and discreetly act as legal advisers to independent, maintained and non-maintained schools. www.senlegalforschools.co.uk www.senlegal.co.uk SEN Legal Ltd is not a Legal Aid Practice.
