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

3 weeks agoI 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.Posted on Google

3 months agoChloe 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.Posted on Google

10 months agoMichelle and team at Shentons were brilliant at handling our property purchase. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them. The quality of work and service was excellent, Michelle is on the ball and responsive to emails, she pushed the other side and made sure we were comfortable and informed at every step. Despite being thrown some curve balls Michelle remained calm, and dealt with all of them in an efficient but thorough manner. From quote to completion everything her and her team did was excellent, and in line with the estimate given which for first time buyers allowed us to budget without fear of massive final bill. It’s nice to know what you are getting into. And finally to top it off they are all lovely approachable people that I wouldn’t hesitate to trust with such a big purchase or sale going forward. If you want the job done properly I wouldn’t use any other firm.Posted on Google
