3PB's expert education law barristers provide an informative update seminar on the 2014 Children and Families Act
30th September 2016
On 29th September 2016, 3PB Education Team members Lachlan Wilson, John Friel, and Emma Waldron hosted an Education Law Update Seminar in Temple, London. This was the first in a series of seminars that are taking place. It was well attended by lawyers who represent parents, young persons and local authorities, in addition to those with a political interest in the area.
The seminar addressed the SEN reforms heralded by the Children and Families Act 2014 and analysed the problems within the new system which have emerged since the inception of this Act. A comprehensive update of important case law arising in 2016 relevant to education law was also provided.
This seminar was the first of a series of seminars being hosted by the education law team. Spaces for future events are limited. For further information about events occurring on 20th October 2016 and 24th November 2016, which are CPD accredited, please go to: https://www.3pb.co.uk/seminars.
