Disagreeing with a decision

Part of
How an EHC needs assessment works

You can challenge your local authority about:

their decision to not carry out an assessment
their decision to not create an EHC plan
the needs and provision detailed in the EHC plan
the school named in the EHC plan

If you cannot resolve the problem with your local authority, you can appeal to the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Tribunal. Find out more about mediation and tribunals.

Deciding if an EHC needs assessment is appropriate (weeks 1 to 6)

Continuing the EHC Needs assessment (weeks 6 to 16)

If it's agreed that an EHCP is necessary (weeks 16 to 20)
