Education appeals

Families InFocus can support parent carers of children with SEND in appealing decisions the Local Authority (LA) has made about a child or young person’s educational health care needs assessment or plan.  We can advise and support with:

• Appealing a refusal to assess (RTA) for an educational healthcare needs assessment (EHCNA)
• Appealing a refusal to re-assess for an educational healthcare needs assessment
• Appealing a school placement
• Appealing sections B, F and I of an educational health care needs plan (EHCP)
• Appealing decision to cease an existing educational health care needs plan (EHCP)
• Appealing a school placement
• Appealing a decision to not issue an EHCP following a needs assessment
