. @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
Judge Jane McConnell on the top 5 issues in the SEND Tribunal:
1. Application of legal test

4. Format of EHC plans
5. Evidence

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.
