Rights to independent advice and support, mediation and tribunal

If the final EHCP does not name the school/setting of your choice, parents and young people have a right to:

You must register you appeal with the SEND Tribunal within 2 months from the date of your decision letter from the Local Authority or 1 month from the date you obtain a mediation certificate, whichever is the later.

You do not need to have a mediation certificate if the only thing you are appealing about is the name of school (section I). But if you are also appealing about any other content of the EHCP a mediation certificate is required.
