Education Law

The law of education is of increasing importance to all involved in local authorities, to those who run schools and for parents. Recourse to legal advice is increasing as the range of issues arising becomes more complex. Exclusions from school, league tables, funding and opting-out: the topicality of these issues hides the fact that those involved in advising need to be absolutely sure that they understand the structure and processes involved in education law. This second edition provides a fully updated and expanded treatment including full coverage of the latest legislation. It should be invaluable to solicitors in local authorities and in private practice as well as those in local authority, education departments, school heads, governors and parents.
