## Description

The Disagreement Resolution and Mediation Service - The service helps resolves disagreements about anything to do with SEN provision\.

When required, mediation can take place following decisions by a local authority not to carry out an EHC needs assessment, not to draw up an EHC plan, after they receive a final EHC plan or amended plan, following a decision not to amend an EHC plan or a decision to cease to maintain an EHC plan\.
