This course will encourage delegates to consider their legal obligations in respect of offering a place, and potentially withdrawing a place at their school.

The session will cover legal obligations in relation to discrimination, particularly disability, sex and potential transgender issues and your ability to refuse a place where the school is unable to meet the needs of the pupil or offering a place may affect other pupils. We will also cover how to withdraw a place, once offered, if information comes to light that affects whether the school can meet the ongoing needs of the students.

We will discuss practical tips on what needs to be considered in relation to the offer of a place and also cover the documentation that should be supplied at the point of offer and who this should be provided to. In addition to our practical tips and guidance on the law, we will also go through some case studies and share our own experience of issues with admissions and provide an overview of the references that you can provide in relation to students and what you should be asking for in relation to references.
