Section B, F and I Appeal

Who it's for: parents whose child's EHC plan misses needs, has vague provision or names the wrong school. It works at the draft plan stage as well as for appeals.

Learning outcomes. Parents will be able to:

• check whether Sections B, F and I meet the legal standard
• rewrite vague provision so it is specific and quantified
• understand the rules for naming a school, including sections 33 and 39
• prepare grounds of appeal and a working document
• know the deadlines after a Tribunal order: 5 weeks for changes to Sections B and F, and 2 weeks for a change of school
