Turner’s is headed by Emma Turner, an experienced advocate in both Court and Tribunals. With a reputation of going the extra mile to secure the best possible provision for clients, whether they are educated in school, college, University, Special Units or at home.
Emma has a success rate well in excess of 90% and has developed a first class reputation in this specialist area of law.
Every parent wishes for the best possible opportunities for their child, whether their child attends a mainstream school or has Special Educational Needs, which require specialist teaching.
Turner’s Solicitors provide specialist legal advice in all areas of education law, helping parents to obtain the best possible opportunities for their child, whatever their needs and abilities, whether they have severe difficulties or learning difficulties which will allow them to lead a normal life given the appropriate support, and school placement to maximise their potential.
We advise clients during the process of obtaining a statutory assessment, and a statement of special educational needs.
Some clients arrive with us already having received a statement of special educational needs which they seek to improve or change the school named in the statement. Other clients have a statement which the authority/school is not following. We represent clients in all of these circumstances, with the aim to secure the appropriate educational support for the child.
Specialist legal advice is also given in Higher and Further Education matters, whether it be securing specialist provision or bringing complaints to Universities and appealing to the Office of Independent Adjudicator.
