The Upper Tribunal

The Upper Tribunal

When the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal (SEN Tribunal/ SENDIST) makes a decision following a Hearing, either Party (Parent/ young person or Local Authority (LA)) has the right to appeal that decision to what is called the Upper Tribunal.

We have provided a number of FAQs on the Upper Tribunal, however generally speaking an Upper Tribunal appeal involves a discussion on whether the SEN Tribunal has applied and followed the law correctly. It can involve a highly technical analysis of case law and legislation.

Similar to the SEN Tribunal, parents/ young people can represent themselves at the Upper Tribunal. SEN Action can however offer this service for you at a highly competitive cost.

SEN Action’s Specialist Advocate has extensive experience in handling Upper Tribunal cases and he will support you throughout the process from start to finish (See our Advocate’s profile here).
