Expert Legal Services & Advice for
Schools, Colleges & Academies

Hayley’s advice and support were invaluable. She supported me in a complex Deprivation of Liberty issue where one of the parties was trying to bring our school’s reputation into disrepute. Hayley made understanding the legal issues easy, she was always clear, helpful and efficient. She also helped with supporting to move the young person into a new placement. The whole matter was made a lot easier with Hayley’s support.
