 You will need to include with your appeal form:-

  • The Decision letter which came from the Local Authority which provides you with your right of appeal.
  • The Mediation Certificate
  • Supporting evidence 
  • If you are appealing about what is in an EHC plan, send a copy of the EHC plan AND all the Appendices (listed under Section K of the EHC plan)

You can contact the SEND Operations team for a copy of any EHC plan documents. 

 You can submit the form online, or you can print the form out and post it.

If submitting your form by post, print out the form and send it together with copies of all the documents listed on the Checklist at the end of the Appeal Form.  We advise sending the package by either Recorded or Guaranteed Delivery so that you have a receipt of when your application was sent, and can track when it was received by the Tribunal
