How we help Free legal guides, resources and template letters Education, Health and Care plans Appealing to the SEND Tribunal Can you appeal to the SEND Tribunal where the only problem is in relation to health and/or social care? No. There has to be an educational part to the appeal for it to be considered under the SEND Tribunal’s extended powers. If your concerns about the child or young person’s EHC plan are around health and/or social care rather than education, you still have the option of mediation.
