Teachers' legal rights and responsibilities: a guide for trainee teachers and those new to the profession (2nd ed.)

This invaluable guide to teachers' legal rights and responsibilities is written for those training to teach and those already in the profession.

Although entirely authoritative, it avoids, as far as possible, legal jargon and technical language and is not intended as a comprehensive volume about the law.

Rather, it provides teachers in England and Wales with what they need to know in a clear, down-to-earth and informative manner.

There are sections on everything from teachers' professional duties and child protection to physical restraint and discipline.

Advice is given about activities out of school as well as on general health and safety matters.
