- This is the total number of Special Education Needs appeals registered with the Tribunal in the period., expressed as a crude rate per 10,000 school population
The First-tier Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) jurisdiction hears appeals against decisions of local authorities in England regarding special educational needs. Appeals to the Tribunal can be made in relation to a number of different decisions a Local Authority would make relating to that system which included the refusal to assess a child with special educational needs, the refusal to issue a statement of SEN following that assessment or the contents of the statement once it has been finalised.
On 1 September 2014 the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) provisions in the Children and Families Act 2014 introduced Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans ? legal documents that set out the education health and social care support a child or young person with SEN requires when their needs cannot be met by resources available to mainstream early years providers, schools and post-16 institutions, prior to this period children would have been issued with a statement of SEN. Children with statements of special educational needs will gradually go through a transition process to move them into the new EHC system over the course of the next few years. For the period of transition, when both systems are being run in parallel, appeals to the SEND tribunal can therefore arise in relation to either SEN Legal Framework.
