EHCP mediation service

When can I use the mediation service?

Mediation is free and brings together the parents or young person, and us (the Council) to work towards a solution which satisfies both parties.

Trained mediators who are independent of the local authority provide the mediation service. Their role is to facilitate looking at new ways of solving the dispute.

Mediation is only available when we (the Council) decides:    

• not to carry out an Education, Health, and Care (EHC) needs assessment or re-assessment   
• not to draw up an EHC Plan after making an assessment or reassessment    
• not to amend sections B, F and I of an existing EHC Plan which are about education    
• to cease to maintain an EHC Plan   

The mediation service for Wokingham is provided by Global Mediation.
