Disputes with commissioners over EHCP funding
Dear Abbey Multi Academy Trust,
Can you provide the number of challenges you have made to Local Authority Commissioners around the funding provide with EHCP in this academic year. Can you categorise these as follows:
1. Rejected i.e. no additional funding provided for the EHCP (by LA)
2. Successful i.e. additional funding provided for the EHCP (by LA)
3. In progress (by LA)
Of the successful applications, can you detail whether any of these involved your taking legal advice, up to and including the use of Judicial Review.
Can you also provide details of the process you undertake to EHCP funding matches Section F of the EHCP as related to the SEND Code of Practice and, ultimately, the Children and Families Act 2014.
Yours faithfully,
John O'Shea
Dear John O’Shea,
We believe that this request has been made under a pseudonym as we note
from WhatDoTheyKnow that requests have been made under your account under
various aliases.
Please note that Section 8(1)(b) of the FOIA states that the real name of
the applicant must be used when requesting information and not any other
name, for example, a pseudonym. Since such requests do not satisfy the
definition of a request for information contained in section 8(1)(b) of
the Act, we do not consider that the right to information contained in
section 1 is engaged.
To consider your request under the FOIA, we require confirmation of your
real name. Once you provide this information, we will aim to send you a
full response to your request within 20 school days or 60 working days if
sooner.
Kind regards,
