Freedom of Information responses
Awaiting classification
'There were 195 appeals received by the Council in the requested timeframe' (1 Jan 2019 - 1 Oct 2024). Data by calendar year of registration, found in favour of council: 2019 - 6 appeals heard and found in favour of the Council. 2020 - 8 appeals heard and found in favour of the Council. 2021 - 1 appeal heard and found in favour of the Council; 1 appeal heard and found partly in favour of the Council. 2022 - 1 appeal heard and found in favour of the Council. 2023 - 3 appeals heard and found in favour of the Council; 1 appeal heard and found partly in favour of the Council. 2024 - 0 appeals heard and found entirely in favour of the Council; 1 appeal heard and found partly in favour of the Council; 14 appeals yet to reach hearing stage and 1 appeal awaiting issue of Tribunal decision. SEND provision and external legal advisor (barrister) spend also given by financial year 2018/19-2024/25.
Caveat: Data is organised by the calendar year the appeal was REGISTERED with the Tribunal, not the year it was decided — the council explicitly notes the final hearing may have taken place in a subsequent year. Several 2024-registered appeals were still pending hearing/decision as of the response date.
