Education Law in Scotland

Publishing in the Greens Practice Library series, this book provides a comprehensive account of this complex area of the law, whilst remaining highly practical in focus.
The most up-to-date and thorough account of this topical subject, Education Law in Scotland takes into consideration the recent amendments to the Standards in Scotland's Schools etc. Act 2000 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 as well as looking at the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998.
Essentially covering the rights of children and the rights and duties of schools and parents, this authoritative work examines the subjects which fall within these areas, e.g. the criminal aspect of the prosecution of parents to the welfare of children with disabilities and special educational needs.
Education Law in Scotland covers the historical foundations of education through to the present environment and looks forward to the future of education in Scotland.
