The Education Law Unit is Scotland's expert legal resource in the field of school education, with a particular focus on tackling discrimination, promoting human rights and the rights of disabled pupils and pupils with additional support needs.
The Education Law Unit works in partnership with schools, education authorities, parents' groups and charities across Scotland to make pupils' rights and parents' rights in education a reality.

Govan Law Centre has been running an equality and human rights case service for education law cases for one year now, and today marks the online publication of our report on those first twelve months. The service is funded by the Equality and Human Rights Commission in Scotland and will run until September 2009.
