    Can't answer yes or no.:

    The CYP or parent of a child could appeal against the English LA’s refusal to issue an EHCP to the First-Tier Tribunal (Health, Education and Social Care Chamber) (Special Educational Needs and Disability) in England. Whether the English tribunal has jurisdiction to consider the matter will depend on whether the tribunal considers that the English LA is responsible for the CYP under s.24 of the CFA 2014 and EA 1996 s.579 (3A) and (3B).
