Has anyone had success changing their EHCP at mediation rather than tribunal?

Has mediation ever worked for anyone in getting changes to their EHCP? We need changes to sections B and F because he can't currently access any of the recommendations on his EHCP without significant therapeutic support. He needs SALT, OT and Psych support for developmental trauma. Also been newly diagnosed with a language disorder that wasn't previously known. Fully prepared to take to tribunal but there is a hell of a lot of evidence even at this stage that he can't access education yet, so just wondering if we might have a chance.

If you have new evidence from professionals then yes, it's worth going to mediation. Or showing the LA the new evidence first to see if they are willing to take it into account and amend the EHCP.

For B&F, you are unlikely to get comprehensive, watertight amendments for significant therapeutic support without appealing.

Ok, it's worth a shot I guess! Thank you
