The Legal Lab | Episode 4

When a child is excluded from school, most parents don't know the rules that govern the process — and the stakes couldn't be higher.Haresh Sood and solicitor Anita Chopra cover the law on school exclusions: why only the governing body can reinstate a child (not the independent review panel), why the governors' hearing has to be given everything from the start, and what parents can do when the process isn't conducted fairly. Anita also discusses a live case in which a headteacher repeatedly refused to disclose the evidence considered in the exclusion decision.Essential for parents, school governors, and anyone working with children facing exclusion.
