Education consulting spans school-improvement advisers, university-admissions consultants, SEND specialists, international-student placement agents and edtech strategists – different clients, one common thread: families and institutions acting on your advice about outcomes that matter enormously to them.
Carry the £1m–£2m your institutional clients' procurement expects, get the advisory-vs-contact boundary explicit if you work in schools, and treat pupil data with cyber cover to match its sensitivity. Placement consultants: your exposure is the family's outlay plus their outcome – insure and contract accordingly.
