A MESSAGE FROM:
We are delighted to support this year's Schools North East Academies conference and are looking forward to contributing to the conversations about how academies can continue to effectively operate, educate and evolve in the current extremely difficult circumstances.
Ward Hadaway has been supporting schools, academies and Multi-Academy Trusts for over 10 years. We are very proud of the reputation we have built with hundreds of organisations across the North of England as trusted advisors for all of their legal needs. Our team of specialist education lawyers work together to ensure you receive commercial, practical and pragmatic advice and support, drawing on the wealth of knowledge, experience and skills available across the various specialisations in the firm. This means we can cover everything and anything affecting an Academy Trust, its employees, governors, parents and students.
If you would like to arrange a chat to discuss a specific question or query which might be affecting your organisation right now, then please contact me directly by emailing graham.vials@wardhadaway.com.

School survey specialists Edurio, in partnership with school support specialists The Key
Edurio worked with safeguarding professionals across the latter half of 2022 to conduct The Pupil Safeguarding Review, a survey of 70,000 pupils in English schools.
This important study is designed to help school and trust safeguarding leaders understand whether pupils in their schools feel safe, and whether they know what to do if they do not.
The first report from the review launches on Thursday 19th January, and you can sign up to receive a digital copy using this link https://go.edurio.com/safeguardingreport
