NAHT has always provided its individual members with first class personal legal support, for example when they find themselves facing threats relating to their employment or conditions.
However, increasingly NAHT members need to access legal advice and assistance on behalf of their schools and colleges. Never before has the delivery of education been more important or more complex and school leaders need to manage many competing themes against a background of regulatory scrutiny and the engagement of demanding stakeholders. With Local Authorities now adopting the role of commissioners rather than providers of education, school leaders increasingly need to be able to access independent, high quality but cost effective legal advice.
In recognition of this evolving need, members of NAHT are now able to benefit from a newly brokered relationship between the NAHT and Browne Jacobson, one of the leading education law firms in the country, providing 20% discounts on normal fees.
Whether you are a community school, voluntary aided or controlled, a foundation school or a grammar school, Browne Jacobson’s specialist lawyers understand the challenges, opportunities and rewards faced by school leaders and are able to offer NAHT members the following bespoke services:
-
full service offering – integrated advice and support on all aspects of the law as it affects the delivery of education
