If you disagree with the Local Authority’s decision about an EHC Assessment or Plan, there are 3 things you can do:
- Arrange a meeting with Local Authority officers to discuss the reasons behind a decision and try to agree a way forward.
- Request mediation via the LA’s SEND Team.
- Appeal to the SEN and Disability Tribunal (SENDIST) – if you wish to do this, you must apply to the Tribunal within two months of receiving your refusal letter.
