President Donald Trump’s nomination of philanthropist and education advocate Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education thrust Michigan education into the national spotlight. Because DeVos doesn’t have a track record as a government official or school system leader, her work in Michigan on education issues provides some of the only information about her track record and what she might do as Secretary. Yet, DeVos’ critics and her boosters alike are making a variety of claims about Michigan that are confusing and contradictory.
To help clarify some of these questions, a new analysis from Bellwether Education Partners provides a comprehensive look at the education policy landscape in Michigan.
Academy mergers and transfers - Victoria Hatton - 24 January 2017Browne Jacobson LLP
At the heart of the National Schools Commissioner’s priority to develop a structure for multi academy trust (MAT) growth is a recognition that the Department for Education needs existing MATs to grow to secure efficiency and sustainability. This view appears to be shared by 46% of school leaders, who reported to our School Leaders Survey that creating or expanding a school group would be a priority for them this year.
With nearly 6,000 schools now academies, some of this growth is likely to take the form of the transfer of existing academy schools between academy trusts or the merger of MATs.
In this session, we will explore:
• drivers for academy mergers and transfers
• importance of effective due diligence
• the application process
• legal steps in the transfer process

Earlier this year Edward Timpson’s review on school exclusions raised the profile of the practice of exclusions, managed moves and alternative provision. Head teachers and governors are now under increasing scrutiny to conduct the end-to-end process in a fair and consistent manner (and in line with the statutory guidance) to ensure that the best possible outcome for the school, its staff, its pupils and the parents is achieved.
In this webinar, Senior Associate Hayley O’Sullivan, explores the current exclusions landscape, looks at prospective changes to policy and practice and share examples of best practice to help you avoid common pit-falls when it comes to managing exclusions.
Hayley also provides an overview to the existing statutory guidance, proposed developments in relation to managed moves and alternative provision and share her thoughts on the anticipated changes in regulation as a result of the review.

Every business, and every in house lawyer, will at some point be involved with an enquiry, an investigation, or potential litigation. During litigation, documents – including emails, attendance notes and reports – which are relevant to the litigation may have to be disclosed if they are not privileged.
So businesses need to know how it can assess litigation risk or conduct an enquiry without creating documents that it then has to produce and which may be detrimental to its position. The law on this issue has recently been considered by the Court of Appeal in two key cases: WH Holding Ltd v E20 Stadium LLP and SFO v Eurasian Natural Resources Corp Ltd.
In this webinar recording, our experts Mark Daniels and Helen Simm provide you with the key information you need to identify these issues when they arise and to know how you can best protect your position.
We are all waiting with bated breath for the Supreme Court decision in CN & GN, a case which will have a huge practical impact on service providers. Previously the Court of Appeal was dismayed about the damages claims, that had been litigated with little regard to, or understanding of, the law and reality of social care practice. Some of the team involved in the case discus what might happen next, and analyse the practical effect for you of the Supreme Court judgment.
Whilst that judgment has been awaited many claims have been on ice, but to fill that gap we are seeing many of our clients being affected by:
- pressure to consider Redress Schemes
- the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse
- claims being brought directly against them as fostering agencies
- claims under the Human Rights Act
- issues following the implementation of GDPR.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

• Responsible for transferring safeguarding file to new school
11. The DSL
• Prevent awareness training a requirement

time to read/digest developments) at regular intervals but at
least annually

consistency, use their experience and expertise and achieve best
outcomes for the child
• Encourage staff to do so
22. Referrals to children’s social care
An expectation that following a referral the DSL should press
children's social care for reconsideration if the child’s situation is not
improving
