Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask His Majesty's Government what percentage of appeals on decisions relating to education, health and care plans result in the granting of a plan to the child.
Answered by Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)
In the 2022-23 academic year (the latest period for which statistics are published), there were 986 disposals against the refusal to make an education, health, and care (EHC) plan. Of the 668 which went before the Tribunal to determine, 635 (64% of all disposals) resulted in an order for an EHC plan to be made.
