Appeal
1. The Parent appeals under s. 326 of the Education Act 1996 against the
contents of an amended Statement of Special Educational Needs issued
by the Local Authority in respect of their Child. The amended Statement
is dated August 2012. The appeal relates to Parts 2 and 3 of the
Statement.
Preliminary issues
1. The Parent applied to admit late evidence under Regulation 50 of the
Special Educational Needs Tribunal for Wales Regulations 2012. This
consisted of PEP3 psycho-educational profile test results relating to the
Child that had been carried out in January 2013, together with an analysis
of these results. The Tribunal received the documents in March 2013.
The LA Representative agreed to the admission of the documents. The
Tribunal therefore decided to admit them under Regulation 50 (1) (a) of
the Special Educational Needs Tribunal for Wales Regulations 2012.
2. The Parent also applied to admit a second Working Document. The
Tribunal received this in March 2013. The Document builds upon the
agreed Working Document of February 2013, which the parties submitted
in line with the Directions that were made following the adjournment of the
hearing of this case in January 2013. The LA Representative agreed to
the admission of the document. The parties were in agreement that the
document would work alongside February’s Working Document and
inform discussions at the hearing. The Tribunal decided to admit the
document into evidence under Regulation 50 (1) (a) of the Special
Educational Needs Tribunal for Wales Regulations 2012.
