What is the loss /win percentage for Devon County Council regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) tribunals for independent school placements for 2023/24?
Compliance with this request would exceed the appropriate cost limit under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which is £450 or 18 hours of officer time. We would need to check each of the 221 appeals that included placement for the year 2023/24. We would need to check what type of placement was requested and then the decision for that appeal which would take around 15 minutes per appeal. 221 appeals at 15 minutes to check each one would be over 55 hours of officer time and above the appropriate cost limit.
Under the Act, there is a duty to provide advice and assistance as to how a request can be refined to fit within the appropriate limit. Unfortunately, due to the way the data is held, this is not possible for this request.
