 Hi, my name's Aled, and I've been having some problems with school. I don't think the school and the local authority are doing enough to help me learn or joining all the lessons and activities. I'm hoping that the special educational needs tribunal Wales, sent to, will be able to help me with that. Tribunal lease edi targ. Y poblem yn mynd i tribunal lease os edyn nhw'n anhapus am rai penderfyniadau sy'n effaithio arnyn nhw. Y ffewr mwynt sego, I was unhappy with some of the decisions the local authority made about the extra help I needed at school. I talked about it with my school and the local authority, but I felt that what they decided to do was not enough to help me. Mae tribunal lease yn debyg i ddyfarnwyr. Dydau ddim yn cymryd ochrau. Mae o'n gwneud yn siŵr bod rhyholau poisig o'r enw defddfa, wedi cael ei dilyn yn gawyr pan gafodd penderfyniadau ei gwneud. So, I decided to ask sent to to help. This is what they call making an appeal. I chose to do this myself, but my parents could have done it for me. I filled in the application form with the help of my case friend and sent it to sent to. Rhaid i tach dderbyn cais y peil o fymdoi fydd i'r ddyddiad oedd y llythau'r ganar all yn dweud o'r ddych chi a mae benderfyniad tarfynol. I had about six weeks to send them all the information about the appeal. This is called a case statement. Sent to then sent to me a copy of all the information they had received from the LA about my appeal. I also had a letter telling me where and when my meeting would be held. Mae gwrando ia'r tribunal lease yn gyfarfod drwy'n pawb sy'n rhan o'r y peil. Mae cael ei drefni gan tach. I'm going to the meeting called a hearing with sent to, where a panel of people who will listen to everything and come up with a fair legal decision. I know there will be quite a few people there. My family, my teachers, my therapist and some people from the LA who are basically bosses of education in my area. It sounds like a lot, but I know that everybody has to be heard to keep it fair, so that's okay. This is where my hearing is happening, a place outside school that I can get to easily. Sent to have chosen a place that is private and neutral for me and the school, so we feel comfortable and can talk about the things that matter. In other words, my appeal. They told me that someone from sent to will meet us when we get there and tell us a bit more about what's going to be happening today. Fel arfer, mae gwrando ia'i yn digwydd mewn lleoliad neutral fel gwestau a bydd yn breifat. Hi. Hi. You must be Aled. Yes, and this is my name. Hi. My name's Leon and I'm the clerk from sent to. Thank you for coming. How are you today? Fine, thank you. A little nervous. That's okay. There's nothing to worry about. The panel are here to listen to all the facts and make sure everybody hears what each other has to say. If you'd like to follow me, and I'll come and get you when it's time to start. Mae Clare Cotach yn cyfarfod pobl pan fydd yn un cyrraedd gwrandoiad ac yn dangos i dyn nhw ble i fynd. What time will this start? Usually about 10, so not too long now. How long will it take? It can take all day, but there'll be plenty of breaks and lunch too. You can stay for all of it, or only part of it. It's up to you. It is your hearing after all. Do you have someone to be with you if you decide not to stay in the room for the whole hearing? Yes, my auntie's coming soon. She'll look after me. That's great. I'll be back soon. Mae gwrando iawn yn cymryd trwy'r dydd weithiau. Mae'n syniad adod y game ddawel teiga yn ei lyfyr. Siŵn per a boed a diod gyda chi. If you'd all like to follow me to the hearing room then please. The first thing I notice is how many people there are in the room. This is the chairperson. He's in charge of the tribunal. He listens to what each person says and asks questions. He's also a lawyer. These two I decided upon are educational panel members. They are experts in special educational needs. These three people are respondents. She is speaking on the behalf of the LA. She is a teacher and she is a therapist. These people know how I'm getting on in school and they know a lot about my needs. They are called witnesses. This is the clerk. It's his job to make sure everyone is okay. He also records the hearing. This is my case friend. My case friend has helped me prepare for today and will help me make my points. This makes me feel a lot more relaxed about the day and I know I'll get cheered with her help. I made the appeal so I'm the appellant. I've come along today with my nana. I also bought a witness. Borodal, good morning. Welcome to the tribunal hearing. The independent body set up to hear these appeals. We have read all of the papers in your case and we've had a meeting before you came in to discuss your case. We will now hear what everyone wants to say and we will ask some questions. At the end of that, when we have heard what everyone has to say, we will have a further meeting and we will make our decision. Cadeirydd y tribunal i sydd yn gofal i emwg randawiad a bydd yn dweud os ych chi beth sy'n mynd i ddigwydd. The jail person started the day by telling us what was going to happen including when there would be breaks and time for lunch. We listened to people giving evidence. That means fact about what I needed and what the school could do about my needs and we could all ask questions. Bydd pawb yn cael amser i siarad a gofyn cwestiynau'r randawiad. Yn cennwys chi. The centre panel asked me a few questions like. So what do you like in school? And what help do you think, Alled, works best for you? I was also allowed to ask questions. The jail person made sure that everybody had a chance to speak and that we all listened to each other. It wasn't too bad in the end. Now all I have to do is wait for a decision. Bydd y tribunal i'n amlalleth yr ardych chi, iddweud beth sydd wedi ei benderfyniad ti'r daethnas ar ôl y grandawiad. It's been two weeks since the hearing and the centre panel have been busy writing out their decision very carefully. This is the letter that explains what they have decided. They told me it could be one of three decisions. Allowed, Allowed in part and dismissed. Allowed. Centre will agree with the appeal and there must be change in what the school and the local authority do. Or where I go to school. Allowed in part. This means a centre agree with some of the appeal but not all of it. There will be some changes but not all the changes we wanted. And dismissed. This means a centre don't agree with the appeal and the school and the local authority will not have to make any changes. So, I wonder what the outcome will be for me.
