In this week’s presentation, my friend and colleague, Mark Butlin, discusses some of the key aspects of the law that teachers need to be aware of.

During my career, I was very lucky not to have had any legal proceedings brought against me or any of my teachers. This does not, however, mean that things did not take place that could have led to such proceedings, particularly in terms of injury to students or supervision matters.

What particularly concerns you in relation to legal matters and being a teacher? Do you have any key concerns?
