Q:

Can we refuse an early annual review when an appeal about the contents is underway?

School want to do an early annual review after only six months, whilst I am doing an appeal about the contents of the original EHCP. I am worried it will complicate matters and also potentially further reduce provision.

    r20 The Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014 details  the procedure to be followed when reviewing an Education, Health, and Care plan (EHCP) for a child attending school.

    While a parent may object to the scheduling of what would typically be an early review meeting (part of the process), they cannot, on the face of it, prevent the meeting from taking place, as explicit parental consent is not required to initiate the process.

    I look forward to reading the views of others on this matter.
