The #SEND Tribunal statistics for 2017/18 tell an interesting story. Overall there has been a 20% increase (to the highest ever recorded) in the total number of Appeals taken to the SEND tribunal yet an overwhelming majority of 85% found in favour of #Parents.

New #greenpaper 'Transforming Children and Young People’s #MentalHealth Provision' does not made clear how the extra capacity within schools will be resourced. Read @ncbtweets response. https://t.co/1lwIZ4iMkW

If your child would like to write their name, age and superpower on a brolly, pop along!

[LG & SC Ombudsman @LGOmbudsman]

Our complaint numbers about EHCP’s have doubled in one year and continue to rise. We uphold 79% of those complaints we investigate #SENLAWCONF

[LG & SC Ombudsman @LGOmbudsman]

. @IPSEAcharity concerned about LA’s applying higher thresholds to agree to assess than are set out in the legislation & rrequiring parents to complete a form when requesting assessment. No legal requirement for this & adds another layer to an already complex process #SENLAWCONF

[Matrix @MatrixChambers]

Judge Jane McConnell on the top 5 issues in the SEND Tribunal:

1. Application of legal test
2. Lack of evidence from EHC assessment
3. Unclear reasons for LA decision
4. Format of EHC plans
5. Evidence

[LG & SC Ombudsman @LGOmbudsman]

Michael King confirms that although we recognise increasing pressure on children’s services, we will make judgements based on law, guidance and rights not budgets #SENLAWCONF

[IASS Network @IASS_Network]

We enjoyed spending time in scenic Lancaster with IAS Services from across the NW during their annual Development Day. Lots of topics covered, including casework, working with CYP and tribunals.

[SEN Legal @SENLegalltd]

The Ombudsman responsible for investigating concerns over local government services has revealed his office has upheld eight out of 10 complaints about Education and Health Care Plans. https://t.co/HwXdKfiNjR

Key points about the #NationalTrial from today's User Group mtg whereby SENDT will be able to make health & social care recommendations:
* It only applies to decisions dated from 3rd April 2018
* Refusal to Assess Appeals are not included
* All Appeals MUST have an SEN element.
