- Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps he is taking to reduce waiting times for special educational needs and disability tribunal hearings.

We have appointed more judges and panel members to the SEND jurisdiction.
We have also increased sittings in SEND from just over 12,000 sitting days in 2019/20 to over 18,500 last year.
As a result, we have increased the volume of appeals we have disposed of from just over 8,000 in 2021/22 to nearly 11,000 in 2022/13.
