The Ministry of Justice and HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) assess the effectiveness of the SEND Tribunal case process through published statistics and operational monitoring. The latest published statistics are available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/tribunals-statistics-quarterly-april-to-june-2026/tribunal-statistics-quarterly-april-to-june-2026.
HMCTS is taking action to improve case progression and make best use of judicial and administrative capacity, including measures to resolve or narrow disputes earlier and streamline case management. Furthermore, we are currently running a recruitment campaign for more judges and administrative staff to increase capacity.
