Why choose me

Having worked with schools and education bodies for several years I can confidently say that no two days are the same. Schools are dealing with increasingly challenging and complex issues all the time. You can get in touch with me whenever you need legal support from parental complaints to exclusions, from safeguarding to discrimination claims. I provide timely and practical advice which sets out clear next steps.

Data protection is also a key issue for schools, as well as for charities and a range of businesses. Whether you are dealing with a subject access request, freedom of information request or personal data breach, I can help you navigate your way through to a successful outcome. If you face regulatory scrutiny on these matters I can provide considered advice based on my experience of dealing with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

My passion for education extends well beyond the workplace and the UK – I enjoy learning French and Spanish, travelling and discovering other cultures.
