Welcome to the Monckton Chambers Education Law Blog.
The blog is written by specialist barristers from Monckton and covers important developments across the field of education law. It includes:
- case notes on important judgments, both from Monckton and elsewhere;
- legislative changes and analysis of their implications, for example in relation to human rights; and
- commentary on topical issues in education law, such as school closures due to COVID-19.
It is aimed at all those active in this area: solicitors, barristers, law students, children and parents, schools, universities and other FE & HE institutions, local authorities, the Department for Education, Ofsted and other education regulators.
