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 (125 appeals) — see how estimates work.

Freedom of Information responses

Requester clarified 'this year' as meaning calendar year 2022. Q1 'How many refusal to assess appeals have been registered this year?' A1: '10 tribunals.' Q2 'How many of these were upheld?' A2: '1, 9 others we consented with parents, to complete.' Q3 'How many refusal to issue have been registered this year?' A3: '0.' Q4 'How many of these were upheld?' A4: 'N/A.' Q5 'How many contents and placement appeals have been registered this year?' A5: '14.' Q6 'How many of the parental preference for placement were named?' A6: '13.' Also EHCP context: Q7 children with EHCPs: 1,891 (as of end of December); Q8 mainstream: 539; Q9 specialist: 718; Q10 EOTAS: 0; Q11 children with SEN and no placement - 'We do not gather the data for all children with SEN, however the number of children unplaced with an EHCP is 8.'
Caveat: Q2's wording is ambiguous as to whether the 1 'upheld' case was decided in the parent's favour or the council's favour, and whether 'upheld' here means upheld by the Tribunal or upheld as in the council's original refusal being upheld; transcribed verbatim rather than resolved. The 9 refusal-to-assess appeals 'consented with parents, to complete' appear to be cases the council agreed/conceded rather than contested to a hearing.
