Request a School Notice Template
Schools have obligations towards students’ mental health. When those obligations aren’t being met, a formal written notice is often the point at which a school starts taking the matter seriously.
We’ll send you a template notice you can adapt to your situation and serve yourself. It’s free, and you don’t need a lawyer to send it — though you may well want one if the matter goes further.
The template is still being drafted. Our legal team is finalising it with the advocate on record. Register below and we’ll email it to you as soon as it’s ready — we’ll also tell you roughly when that is, rather than leaving you waiting in silence.
If your situation can’t wait, please say so in the box below and we’ll try to point you somewhere useful in the meantime.
What you’ll receive
- An editable template notice, with the legal basis set out
- Notes on what to fill in and what to attach
- Guidance on how to serve it and keep proof of service
- What tends to happen next, and your options if the school does not respond
