The decision from the tribunal will come around 10 working days after the hearing
When a tribunal decision is received one of the parties may be unhappy with the result.
There is no way to appeal the Tribunals decision just because someone is unhappy with it.
Either party can only appeal a Tribunals decision on one of the below grounds:
• If you think the decision was wrong in law
• There has been a change of relevant circumstances since the decision was made.
• You can ask for the decision to be set aside in certain circumstances.
An application to appeal must be received no later than 28 calendar days from the date on the letter sent with the decision
Where the LA has been ordered to amend the special educational needs and/or provision specified in the EHCP, the LA must issue the amended EHCP within 5 weeks of the order being made.
Where the LA has been ordered to substitute the name of a school or other institution, the LA must issue the amended EHCP within two weeks.
If the LA do not implement the required changes within the correct timescales then the parent/carer or young person can complain to the LGSCO or challenge via Judicial Review.
