You are not on your own

If you want to challenge or change something about your school
education, you might be able to make an appeal to the Tribunal. There are two ways to do this - one is called a claim and the other, a reference. If you decide you want to do this, you can get help from different people or groups. 

The Tribunal is a legal body. It is independent and has nothing to do with your school, your social work department or the NHS.

The staff at the Tribunal can help you. You can write to us, call or email us.
