This council's own answer doesn't give a usable outcome breakdown. This estimate applies the pooled England-wide outcome rate (no regional sample was large enough to trust on its own) to this council's own real, officially-published appeal volume for 2025 (9 appeals) — see how estimates work.

Q2 Outcomes of challenges to refusal-to-assess decisions - (a) challenged through statutory mediation: 2023 - 0, 2024 - 2, 2025 - 3; (b) challenged through First-tier Tribunal: 2023 - 0, 2024 - 0, 2025 - 2. Q8 SEND Tribunal appeals and concessions - (a) total appeals registered: 'Answer: 2023 - 0, 2024 - 2, 2025 - 5.' (b) number conceded by the authority before final hearing: 'Answer: 2023 - 10, 2024 - 6, 2025 - 7.'
Caveat: The Q8(b) 'conceded' figures (10, 6, 7) are internally inconsistent with the Q8(a) 'registered' figures (0, 2, 5) for the same years -- conceded exceeds registered in every year, which is not logically possible if concessions are a subset of that year's registered appeals. This is transcribed exactly as the council reported it; the likely explanation is a definitional or year-period mismatch in the council's own answer rather than a transcription error here. Treat these particular figures with caution and verify against the source PDF before use.
