Radio button: Unticked Mostly agree
Radio button: Unticked Mostly disagree
Radio button: Ticked Strongly disagree
Please give reasons for your answer.
We have never had the need to use remote means for appeals hearings and would find it prohibitive.

2. Do you agree that video conferencing should be the default option and telephone conferencing, or wholly written means be used only where it is not possible to use video-conferencing?

I don't think we should be using video conferencing and definitely not telephone or written. This would be very difficult for parents/carers to make their point as we often find that they submit little prior to the hearing and rely on speaking to their case on the day.
