The Human Rights Act, and the general change in the climate of expectations over recent years, have necessitated a transformation of attitudes in educational institutions over matters of pastoral and disciplinary significance. Morgan Cole has considerable experience of working with educational establishments on the management and resolution of issues in these fields, and in related academic areas also.

Our solicitors are experienced in dealing with criminal issues of the sorts which can arise within educational establishments and handling consequential police involvement; examples of such issues might be episodes of bullying, dishonesty or drug abuse.  We are particularly conscious of the paramount need to protect reputations wherever possible, and our solicitors' extensive experience in criminal work can provide clients with both reassurance and guidance when it is most required.
