Disagreements process and procedure
Actions
Disagreement resolution arrangements are put in place to resolve a wide-range of disagreements including:
- Performance of duties
- SEN provision
- Disagreements over health and social care provision; and
- Disagreements between health commissioners and local authorities
Disagreement resolution concerns all children and young people with SEN and not just those who are assessed for/or have an education, health and (social) care plan (EHC).
Disagreement resolution can be used to resolve disagreements in the early stages of the EHC needs assessment process and the development of the EHC plan.
