Newton Abbot, Devon, United Kingdom Tameside Community Safety Partnership Full time
Role Overview

We are seeking individuals to join our Independent School Admission Appeals Panel as members. As an Independent Panel Member, you will play a crucial role in ensuring that children and families receive a fair and independent hearing in the event of an education appeal.

Key Responsibilities
  • Attend local appeal panel meetings, usually remotely, to sit on appeal hearings for the benefit of children, families, schools, and academies.
  • Listen to both sides of arguments impartially and make a decision with other panel members.
  • Read appeals paperwork and make notes in advance of appeal hearings.
  • Respect the views and opinions of all parties, including fellow panel members.
  • Ensure parents feel that they have had a fair and independent hearing.
  • Allow admission authority representatives and parents/guardians every opportunity to put forward their case and feel that the points they have made have been taken seriously and carefully considered.
  • Help parents feel that their appeal has been handled competently, fairly, and within the law.
Requirements
  • A good communicator and active listener.
  • Objective, impartial, and unbiased.
  • Good interpersonal skills.
  • Decisive.
  • Ability to work with others.
  • Happy to learn and keep up-to-date with new regulations.
  • Interested in education.
  • Appreciation of each individual's differing circumstances and backgrounds.
  • Sound judgement.
  • Willing to work remotely.
Eligibility

You will be unable to sit on education appeal panels if you are a member of the local authority, have had any connection with the local authority, or are currently employed by the local authority. Teachers and School Governors (albeit not for the school they are a governor at) are an exception to this and are able to be Independent Appeal Panel Members.

What We Offer

We are looking to recruit both Lay Members (without personal experience in the management of any school or provision of education in any school, except as a school governor or in another voluntary capacity) and Members with Education Experience (who are acquainted with educational conditions in the local authority area, or who are parents of registered pupils at school).
