How to become a specialist member
A person is eligible if they have substantial experience of educational, child care, health, or social care matter. Any new members will be appointed by the Lord Chancellor on advice from the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC).
Members of the Tribunal are recruited on 5 year, renewable contracts. The last recruitment exercise was in 2003. When SEND needs new chairs and members the JAC will invite applications via the national press. We do not expect to recruit new members before 2010.
