First Tier Tribunals - Appealing setting only on EHCP - anyone else gone through this?

Vick 15 hours ago

Hi there

Recently received final EHCP for my young son which has been approved for a specialist provision, but because it was only finalised during the school holidays and consultations did not get received from schools until 2 weeks into the new term, the placements for the specialist school I wanted is already full for year ahead. So, he is having to stay at the current mainstream school which isn't ideal. This had to go on EHCP which I want to appeal.

Has anybody else gone to a Tribunal before to appeal the school setting (name of school) on the EHCP? I have never been through this before. It sounds like I don't need to go to mediation as less than 1% get changed this way. It might as well go to the tribunal immediatey.

Would love to know peoples experiences - of the tribunal itself. I have to put a summary together of why I am appealing the school currently on the final.

Im stressing abit about all of this would really like some feedback.

Thanks

Hello Vick

This certainly sounds like a frustrating situation to be involved with, given that the delay here means you are having to pursue non favourable options - I can understand why you are hoping to appeal to the SEND tribunal - although as you say, it is knowing what to expect is certainly important.

While I am sure that our community will have much helpful feedback to provide, in the meantime, I would like to share several NAS approved resources:

Helpline – SOS!SEN - A helpline relating to SEND provisions in education.

Parent to Parent Emotional Support Helpline - Our parent to parent support line.

What happens at Tribunal Hearings? – SOS!SEN - A guide to understanding the tribunal process.

EHCP declined, appeals and SEND tribunal | Disability charity Scope UK - A guide to understanding the tribunal process.

Appealing to the SEND Tribunal - Devon Information Advice and Support - Information relating to appealing to the SEND Tribunal.

You and your son both deserve the best in this situation, going forwards.

Take care - Zac Mod.
