I will be discussing the political, social, and legal factors that impact on the two following organisations: Marks & Spencers and City of London academy Islington

are: u/.Company law and sales of goods act. These two factors impact on M&S because company law helps you set up a business by giving you a loan as a start up. Sales of goods act affect marks and Spencer’s because if marks and Spencer’s have a new range of jumpers that where pink and said 100% cotton. The jumper has to be pink and be 100% cotton because this is how the item is described and it’s illegal if it’s not. The two social factors for marks and Spencer’s are religion and technology. Religion affects marks and Spencer’s in a very big way this is because if marks and Spencer’s was based in a area where there was more Muslim than any other religion and they hadn’t had helal verities of meats then that particular marks and Spencer’s would lose out on the profits and would be getting less customers. Whereas for the technology factor, it’s a good thing for customers because, they can do their food shopping online instead of going in to a particular and to do their food shopping. Cit/.y of London Academy Islington: The Two political factors for the City of London academy Islington is Political stability and infrastructure. Political stability can affect the school because political stability means the government having power. The school is a charity and this means the government funds us for our education and the facilities we have in the school, and if the government stopped funding us then the school wouldn’t be able to work out. Infrastructure affects City of London academy Islington because as the school is a new build the way that it is organised may affect certain people that come to the school eg: teachers, this is because there are loads of teachers that come from far distances and this mean they have to come by car and as there is no car park in the school this may affect the teachers journey because have to end up using public transport.   The two legal factors for the school are child protection act and employment law. Employment law has a protection over the employers this means that if anything goes wrong then the employment law gets to cover it. An important piece of information of employment protection is all based in the contract of employment which includes the name of the employer, employee, the job name and its description, the address of the employee and the amount the employee will get paid. The reason for all this information based in the contract is because so the employer doesn’t change anything or tries to say something which it hasn’t been agreed on. Also employment law protects people from the discrimination act which was discovered in 1975 and the disability discrimination was discovered in 2005. Discrimination act protects the employees from being discriminated which mean the employers cannot hire someone because of the gender, how they look like in fact of their race. If there was an available vacancy in a retail shop then the employer wouldn’t employee the person for their looks, gender, or race they would employee the person for the CV they have got because on that CV it shows what that person is capable of and what sorts of things they can do. The two social factors that that I chose is technology and religion. Students and teachers who are religious and follow religions for example Muslims get special days of for example when it’s Eid.  Also the students and the pupils who follow the Muslim religion need a halal option or alternative things to eat which means the dinner ladies need to know so they can provide the teachers and the pupils with these options. The school also has a prayer room which teachers and pupils could use after school on a certain day in the learning support unit (LSU).  Technology is another social factor that I have chosen. Technology in the school has a very big impact as technology has changed over the years since it first come out. In school we now have computers, laptops also things like interactive whiteboards where as 50 years ago no student back in the day would be able to use something like this as it was only chalkboards that where out. Having these interactive whiteboards, computers, and laptops is a very big advantage for students because they can do their work much easier in school. Also another advantage for having computers and laptops in school is that teachers are able to mark student’s works in a much quicker way. Interactive whiteboards is also a good thing for the teachers as they are able to teach the lesson on a big screen and more children are able to get engaged with the lesson. Also another new piece of technology we got is the ipad this is also another way teachers are able to teach the pupils what they need to be taught.
