Sometimes a child or young person requires a level of support that is more intensive than the resources usually available in their school for SEN Support. In such a case, you or your child's school could consider asking the Local Authority to undertake an Education, Health and Care needs assessment which could lead to your child receiving an Education, Health & Care Plan (EHCP).
An EHCP brings together your child's education, health and social care needs into a single plan which is a legal document.
Your child must have special educational needs to be eligible for a plan. For information on the pathway, please use the link below:
