Turners Solicitors offer legal advice to pupil’s parents and schools in circumstances where a child is excluded for a fixed term or permanently.
Professional advice is offered regarding the correct procedure, which should be followed by a school when a child is excluded.
Advice is also given to parents in relations to the right to appeal against a decision to exclude their child.
We frequently advise parents who need to appeal a decision to exclude their child, representing clients successfully at appeals before the Governing Body and The Independent Appeals Panel.
We usually attend the appeal hearing to represent the parents but we can also provide advice and draft legal arguments for a parent who decides to attend an appeal alone without representation.
