Consultation

 

Wigan admissions are also consulting on the following change following positive feedback from the approach used during Covid-measures:

 

 We are not at this stage seeking views on wider changes to other elements of the Appeals Code.

The permanent changes we are consulting on are:                                                            

·         To allow admission authorities to decide whether to hold appeal hearings remotely (by telephone or video conference) or in person, or to give a choice of either, without reasons relating to COVID-19.

·         To allow appeal hearings to continue and be decided by a panel of two, if the third member of an appeal panel has to withdraw and either postponing the remaining hearings or restarting the appeal will lead to an unreasonable delay.

 

We hope to gather views directly from parents, including any comments about the potential impact of the proposals on individuals who may have protected characteristics, for example parents who have English as an additional language, or who may require reasonable adjustments to participate due to a special medical or social need. 

Therefore, if you  wish to provide feedback, please do submit your views on the consultation link:
