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 (1129 appeals) — see how estimates work.
Freedom of Information responses
Awaiting classification
Asks: how many SEND tribunal cases were listed against SCC for each of the last 3 years; of these how many won/lost; how many conceded prior to the tribunal hearing; staff costs and legal costs for SEND tribunal cases each of the last 3 years. Answer delivered as a 'Response some not held.pdf' attachment -- confirmed to render no extractable text across three separate attempts in this session. Filename implies the response itself was partial (some information not held).
Caveat: Figures entirely inaccessible via automated means in this session. Manual download of the attachment at the URL above is required.
Awaiting classification
Asks, for 2018 and 2019 separately: how many SEND tribunals SCC defended; how many SCC won; how many involved a barrister; total barrister spend. Response was delivered via multiple attachments (not shown inline) -- could not be opened or extracted in this session.
Caveat: Figures not extracted. A separate, better-documented request (SEND Tribunal Costs, above) covers a more recent, overlapping period for the same council.
