Navigating the Legal Landscape of Abuse in Schools

This seminar is designed specifically for parents and carers who feel their child has been harmed, dismissed, or failed within the school system and who need clear guidance on what their rights are and what they can do next.

Co-hosted by Carbone Lawyers and Hope in Colour Advocacy, this event will help families understand:

• What legal duties schools owe to children
• What breaches of those duties can look like
• The immediate steps parents should take when an incident occurs
• Who may be eligible to make a claim
• How the litigation process actually works
• Timeline, compensation, and what families can realistically expect

Parents will hear directly from Lawyers and Partners at Carbone Lawyers, who specialise in school negligence and child safety matters, followed by a general Q&A.

This seminar is ideal for:

• Parents and carers seeking clarity
• Families currently in conflict with a school
• Those considering the complaints or legal process
• Anyone unsure whether the school has met its duty of care
• ParentS wanting to understand their child’s rights and protections

Whether your child has experienced harm, unsafe conditions, discrimination, bullying, abuse, or systemic failure, this session will give you the information and direction you need to feel supported and informed.

This is a rare opportunity for families to access legal insights, ask questions, and understand your options — free of charge.

Registration essential.
