Education ECF: exclusion hearings and SEND appeals

Ollie Persey’s Slides

This session will be in two parts. The first part is open to all. It will set out how to apply for ECF for representation in school exclusion hearings. We encourage all generalist public law practitioners to attend this part of the session. The second part will primarily be of interest to education legal aid providers. It will explore how to secure ECF for representation in the First-tier Tribunal’s Special Educational Needs and Disability chamber, with a focus on Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) appeals.
