(b)the establishment of individual tribunals to exercise the jurisdiction of the Tribunal (regulation 4);
(c)the selection of Tribunal members for hearings (regulation 5);

These Regulations also contain provisions in relation to the making of claims of disability discrimination in schools, under Chapter 1 of Part IV of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, and with the procedures of the Tribunal for the purpose of determining those claims.
The procedures are set out in Parts II to V of the Regulations and broadly follow, with modification, the Tribunal’s procedures for special educational needs appeals under Part IV of the Education Act 1996, which are contained in the Special Educational Needs Tribunal Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/600).
