Mediation / Dispute Resolution

Mediation / Dispute Resolution

Mediation and Dispute Resolution has been given an extra emphasis following the introduction of The Children and Families Act 2014.

For example, in order to lodge an appeal with the Special Educational Needs & Disability Tribunal (SEN Tribunal/ SENDIST) you will have to speak to a qualified mediator first. The mediator has to be one identified by the LA and you will need a certificate from the mediator confirming that you have had a discussion.

You don’t have to go to mediation but if you decide to the LA must cooperate in the process.

For non-tribunal related issues (i.e. a disagreement with your or your child’s educational setting) then Dispute Resolution can be used to try and resolve the issue.

Mediation may be a useful and cost effective way of resolving your issues with the LA or School.
