When might schools and educational institutions need dispute resolution advice?

There are various situations that can call for a need of dispute resolution advice regarding schools and education systems. Our team at Forbes Solicitors has helped clients in this sector with a variety of issues, including but not limited to:

Admissions
Safeguarding
Student welfare (i.e., bullying, discrimination, special needs services, transport etc.)
Behaviour (i.e., expulsion, suspension, punishment etc.)

How long can it take?

The length of a dispute being resolved varies on the complexity of the case however, alternative methods of dispute resolution (i.e., mediation, negotiation, arbitration) are always faster than court proceedings. These are the preferred course of action and will usually lead to earlier resolution of any dispute than court proceedings.
