Number of Education, Health and Care (EHC) mediation cases that have been held (4862) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the total number of Education, Health and Care (EHC) mediation cases that have been held in the year.
Parents or young people who wish to register an appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability) may do so only after they have contacted an independent mediation adviser and discussed whether mediation might be a suitable way of resolving the disagreement. After receiving information, it is for the parents and young person to decide whether to take part in mediation or appeal to the Tribunal without taking part in mediation. If they decide to take part in mediation, once it has finished they can then decide whether or not to appeal to the Tribunal. These arrangements do not apply when the appeal is solely about the name of the school, college or other institution named in the EHC plan, the type of school, college or institution or the fact that no school, college or institution is named. Local authorities will arrange for the provision of mediation information and mediation itself where the parent or the young person wishes to take part in this.
Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans were introduced from September 2014 as part of a range of SEND reforms. A pupil has a statement of SEN or an EHC plan when a local authority issues one following a formal assessment. This document sets out the child's needs and the extra help they'should receive. Statements of SEN were issued for children aged 0-19, EHC plans were extended to cover children and young people aged 0-25.
Data are published as experimental statistics due to potential data quality issues. Totals may not appear to equal the sum of components parts because numbers have been rounded to the nearest 5. Values of 1 or 2 children or young people have been suppressed.
