Consultation description

The DfE is seeking views on a revised version of the statutory school admission appeals code. This allows appeals to be held remotely (by telephone or video conference) as well as in person. It also allows appeal hearings to continue with just 2 panel members if the third panel member needs to withdraw.

The changes make permanent some of the arrangements that were temporarily put in place as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
