Appeals and mediation, SEND Tribunal (young people - SEND)
If the Local Authority decides not to:
- carry out an EHC needs assessment or re-assessment
- draw up/amend/maintain an EHC Plan
or
- if you do not agree with the description of your special educational needs in the plan
you can sort out disagreements through mediators.
In Slough, the mediation and disagreement resolution service is provided by Global Mediation.

If you are unhappy with a decision of the Local Authority you can make an appeal to the SEND Tribunal:
- within 2 months after the decision letter was sent by the local authority (LA) or
- 1 month from the date of the mediation certificate, whichever is the later.
