In addition to his work in the field of SEN, he has extensive experience of a large number of employment tribunal matters, particularly with disability discrimination claims, unfair dismissal and TUPE. He has also represented detained patients in the Mental Health Tribunal and professionals in regulatory proceedings. Sean co-leads a session on EDI for TCPD Module 1.
