Help please, appealing parts 2, 3 & 4

[Bowwowchikkawowwow]

I am finding this so much harder than I thought

Does amyone have any tips? What kind of layout? So far I have just quoted from statement and then bullet point, the reasons I disagree.

If i don't put enough detail, will the tribunal just say, no that statement looks fine.

Are there any good resources that anyone can recommend?

Finding the whole process so stressful.

I would suggest you contact IPSEA //www.ipsea.org.uk as they could advise you on what the statement document should state.

Is the provision neither specified nor quantified?. Whats the situation re part 4?.

I appealed 2,3 and 4 earlier this year. Definitely contact IPSEA or SEN:SOS for some advice.
I managed to legal aid and my solicitor did most of the work but it was still very stressful.
When she filled in the appeal form she wrote what we would like part 2 to say. Then for part 3 she said which paragraphs needed to come out and why, which paragraphs needed to be changed and why, and what we wanted adding and why. All of the things that we wanted adding she referenced to reports so that there was evidence that it was all true and was needed. She sent all of the reports in with the appeal.
For part 4 she put what school we wanted but i don't think she went into lots of detail as to why as we hadn't got a confirmed offer of a place at that point.
How far along the process are you?

What you need to next depends on what you have already done

I would advise contacting IPSEA tribunal helpline. But when it comes to the working document they can have experience with layout and case law but are heavily dependant on expert reports for the actual content. Most NHS/LA reports are not good enough because they are deliberately vague. Do you have Indi reports?

[Bowwowchikkawowwow]

My independents are booked for December and January. as you say the NHS reports are pretty poor.

The school I want to name, has agreed that they have a place for him.

I have found a company who are not solicitors but they deal with educational tribunals, so that has taken some of the stress off.

There's some very helpful information on the SOS SEN website on this.

Hi bow, I would ask your advisor for help. I have used an advisor and when I was writing my evidence for our fisrt tribunal it was very much a team effort.

I also agree about IPSEA.

Good luck
