Claims against
Schools
SV Law can offer advice to schools on a range of matters, including exclusions and disability discrimination claims.
We advise schools and local authorities on the lawful exercise of exclusion powers, from drafting exclusion letters and preparing for governors’ and independent review panel hearings, to defending challenges brought by parents on process or proportionality grounds.
We advise schools facing claims under the Equality Act 2010, including allegations of discrimination arising from disability and failure to make reasonable adjustments, helping clients respond to First-tier Tribunal (SEND) disability discrimination claims with clear, well-evidenced defences.
We support schools and local authorities in responding to Ofsted inspection findings and enforcement action, including advising on representations, appeals and the legal implications of inspection outcomes.
We advise schools and local authorities on correspondence and intervention from the Department for Education, including compliance directions and funding or governance concerns, helping clients respond promptly and proportionately.
