How to lodge an appeal and what happens next
- Please click here for IPSEA’s comprehensive guide to lodging an appeal. This covers all types of appeals, what forms to use, what to expect after you’ve lodged etc.
While you wait…
It can sometimes be many months between an appeal being lodged and the hearing taking place. We strongly recommend that you keep working closely with the LA and school/education setting to try to resolve disagreements ahead of the hearing, and to ensure that your/your child’s needs are met in the interim.
