Nicholas Hancox was a guest on LBC Radio on 22 December, talking to LBC's Nick Ferrari about education law. Nearly every child in nearly every school gets a good education these days, but, yes, sometimes it does go wrong. Nevertheless, the quality of education is hard to measure and, to sue a school successfully, you need to prove that your child would have done much better elsewhere.
Nick also appeared on BBC Radio Norfolk, on 11 January 2010, talking to presenter Chris Goreham about the joys of being a local school governor.
