</p><p>* The annual statistics produced by the First-tier Tribunal (SEND) reflect
the school year, i.e. from 1 September to 31 August. The annual statistics for 2017–18
will be published on 13 December 2018. The figures quoted above cover the period up
to 30 June 2018.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Note</strong></p><p>Appeals are recorded as
disposed of within the same time period. In SEND the tribunal hears appeals within
22 weeks of the appeal being registered. Therefore, disposal figures may be different
from appeals registered in the period as hearings may not take place until the next
reporting year.</p><p>The tribunal reports a successful appeal if one part or all
of the appeal is found in favour of the parent or young person. HMCTS’ manual data
collection shows that 75% of appeals scheduled for a final hearing settle or concede
prior to the hearing date with a decision at hearing not required.</p>
