Here's an admission: I've recently come to the view that what I've
believed for a long time about how I work is, if not wrong, woefully
incomplete. Worse, I've always known this, subconsciously, but have
ignored it because it did not fit my prejudices. For years, I have been
promoting the need to understand the legal basis of what we do. I am one
of the sad people to have read the year 2000 study on the law of
education and the role of the local authority, from preface to
appendices. I was one of the few students attending the lectures on
education law during my Postgraduate Certificate in Education
course.
