Mediation
in Greenwich is provided by Collis Mediation Ltd and is a free, less formal way of trying to reach an agreement with the Local Authority.
You need to consider mediation before you can appeal to the SEND tribunal, except for placement only (section I) appeals. This means contacting Collis Mediation so that they can talk to you about mediation and why it might be helpful to you. You can then make a decision about whether to go ahead with it or not.
If you decide not to use mediation, they will send you a certificate to show that you considered it. You need this certificate to make your appeal to the SEND Tribunal.
If you decide to go ahead with mediation, then the mediator will arrange a meeting between you and the local authority within 30 calendar days.
If the mediation is successful, the results will be written up as a mediation agreement and will be legally binding on both parties.
If an agreement is not reached in the meeting, then you will be sent your certificate and would then be able to continue to make your appeal to the tribunal.
