Abstract

Over the last couple of decades there has been

a change in our society where litigation and the

threat of it in all aspects of life has significantly

increased. The schools and, in particular, the

teachers have not escaped this change. Child

protection laws and increased cases of litigation

are part of the teacher’s working environment.

Increasingly, educational professionals have to

focus on and engage with the legal dimension of

their work.1
