SEN Solicitors Winchester

SEND Tribunal

You can appeal a decision made by the Local Authority regarding your child’s EHCP to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal.

Contact Us

The SEND Tribunal has the power to order a needs assessment or the provision in the EHCP.  A tribunal hearing can be intimidating for the most confident person and particularly when emotions are running high. We can represent you at preliminary hearings and if your matter proceeds to a fully contested final hearing we work with a range of specialist education barristers who can represent you and be the voice for you and your child at your hearing.

We can assist you in making a complaint to the Local Authority when your child has a specified need that is not being met or regarding transport.  The EHCP may dictate that your child should be receiving physiotherapy. If this is not happening, for whatever reason, then you can make a complaint to ensure it is reinstated or to recover costs that you have had to pay out yourself. 

If your complaint is not dealt with satisfactorily we can enter a legal process called Judicial review where the Court is involved in reviewing the decisions of the Local Authority.

Shentons have provided my son with brilliant support throughout a court case. From very first contact, we have had an amazing and highly professional defence. Call backs have always happened when scheduled, the lawyers have been clear, realistic and honest about outcomes. In court support has been reassuring and we felt that the very best defence was prepared and delivered. The barrister appointed was also outstanding and did a wonderful job on both court appearances. My son, the defendent, has learning disabilities/ autism. This was taken into consideration ideation throughout and he was treated with kindness and empathy. We are so grateful for the care and support that we have received. I cannot recommend Shentons more highly.

I can't recommend this solicitor highly enough. From start to finish, they were extremely professional, always available to answer my questions, and provided me with much-needed peace of mind during a stressful time. Chloe, was fantastic — she was incredibly reassuring, took the time to understand exactly what I was going through, and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. I truly trusted her to handle everything, and she exceeded my expectations. If you need reliable and empathetic legal support, look no further!

I was referred to Shentons by a friend and have used Patrick Hunter in my dealings with my house, wills and POA. Patrick's service to me was unquestionable. He was professional, knowledgeable, conscientious and very kind. He kept me up to date every step of the way with my business. Nothing was to much trouble for him at all. I would not hesitate to use Patrick and the firm if I had any problems and I would definitely recommend him and the firm to my friends and family.

Chloe Jay helped my son when he got into bother. She was efficient, professional and knowledgable, but also very approachable. I felt able to ring and speak with her when needed, (obviously she asked my son if he was happy for me to speak on his bahalf). Thank you Chloe for making us feel supported in a difficult situation. I''d also like to mention Shae who was also very knowledgeable and approachable when I couldn't speak to Chloe. I would recommend Chloe to anyone for criminal legal representation.
