Item description from seller

Paperback. The legal environment in which schools operate and teachers work is increasingly intrusive. There are more statutes, more cases, more regulations, more departmental policies. The law is more complex and compliance is more difficult. Breaches are more serious, more heavily penalised and noisily publicised. \nIn this book, Professor Des Butler and Dr Ben Mathews analyse the major legal issues confronting schools across Australia, and provide clear, accessible statements of the current legal principles involved. \nThey enable readers to understand what the law is and how it is likely to apply in particular situations. \nEach chapter covers both legislation directly regulating schools, for example, the obligation on school staff to report suspected child abuse and neglect, and general statutes that apply in educational contexts such as discrimination laws. They also analyse the growing body of case law relating to incidents at schools or involving schools. \nThe book uses an accessible, reader friendly style making it suitable for teachers, policy makers and the wider school community as well as legal practitioners. In this book, Professor Des Butler and Dr Ben Mathews analyse the major legal issues confronting schools across Australia, and provide clear, accessible statements of the current legal principles involved.

Review

... The publication contains a number of very useful tables setting out statutory requirements across Australian jurisdictions relating to child safety, suspension and exclusion from school, general education and discrimination law. Given quoted statistics revealing an increasing number of exclusion and suspensions and incidences of bulying in the context of new technologies available to children, this publication will be of considerable importance to those entrusted with the care and education of children. It will help administrators and teachers develop appropriate policies and practices in the education system. At a direct price of $45.00 and a rrp of $49.95, the text is excellent value for anyone with an interest in the field. - Jann Taylor, November 2008 The publication contains a number of useful tables setting out statutory requiements across Australian jurisdications relating to child safety, suspension and exclusion from school, general education and discrimination law.
