Frequently asked questions

Can I challenge my child's school exclusion?+

Yes. You have rights to make representations and, for permanent exclusions, to have the decision reviewed. Deadlines are tight, so a short consultation early on gives you the best chance of a successful challenge.

My child was refused a school place, can I appeal?+

Yes. Admissions decisions can be appealed to an independent panel, and how you present the case matters. A lawyer can advise on the strength of your appeal and help you prepare it.

What help is there for special educational needs?+

The law gives children with special educational needs specific rights to support and, where needed, an education, health and care plan. A lawyer can advise if support is being refused or is inadequate and help you challenge it.
