Admissions process for special schools and specialist colleges

Appealing a decision

You can appeal if you are not happy with the school named in your child’s education, health and care (EHC) plan.

You will receive a letter with the EHC plan or following an annual review, which explains how to appeal via a tribunal. The letter also explains how you can request mediation or dispute resolution.

This must be done within two months of the date the final EHC plan is issued.
