What is an Education, Health and Care plan? An Education, Health and Care plan (EHC plan) is a legal document which: · identifies your child's special educational needs · the additional or specialist provision (support, therapy etc) required to meet their needs
An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) gets your child specific help in school or college if existing Special Educational Needs (SEN) support is not enough. When you ask for an EHCP, it helps to provide as much evidence as you can, but you don’t need to be certain that an EHCP will be needed.
What is an education, health and care plan and who can get one? An education, health and care plan (EHC plan) is for children and young people who need more than SEN support. It can run from birth up to a maximum age of 25.

Schools in England must provide support to children with special educational needs (SEN) as part of their standard offer to children. This is called SEN support. Schools are deemed to have £6000 of national fundingwithin their existing budgets to support children at the SEN Support level. Where a child requires additional support that goes beyond w...
EHC plans are for those children (0-16) or young people (16-19) or adults (19-25) with special educational needs who require support beyond that which an educational setting can provide at SEN support. A child who has educational needs may also have additional health and social care needs and those can be included in the plan so long as they relate...
In the previous section (see phase two), we listed three reasons why EHC plans get rejected, and whilst they may be valid, often they are covering up a greater issue: money. The core reasons for the rejection of parental requests have almost always boiled down to money. Since 2015, there has been a 17% reduction in funding from the government, whil...
The physical delivery of an EHC plan will differ from local authority to local authority, but there are some essential similarities and sections that we will define below: 1. Section A: the views, interests and aspirations of the child and their parents, or the young person; 2. Section B: the child or young person’s special educational needs (SEN) ...
The Tribunal has been given additional powers to make non-binding recommendations in respect to health and social care. It includes the issuing of Personal Budgets. It is important to note that the appeal can only be lodged in respect of a case which has an educational element to start with i.e. you cannot have a free-standing appeal about personal...
An EHCP can last from its issue until your child leaves education or until 25. It does not cover universities. If you need to move home the EHCP will transfer to the new LA. Within 6 weeks of arriving in the LA area, they will review the plan and consider if it needs to be maintained or amended. You will have fresh appeal rights following any chang...
An EHCP Annual reviewtakes place once a year as a minimum and based on this review, the local authority may take one of three actions: 1. Leave the EHCP unchanged and continue as before 2. End the EHCP 3. Make alterations to the plan The review involves all three parties: the parents, the school/college, and the local authority. The reviews are usu...
The last question is one that may go without saying in many cases but should be asked again to any parent or guardian who is sitting on the fence about pursuing an EHCP. So, here are a few reasons why we think you would want to consider going forward with the EHCP process: 1. An EHCP gives your child the support the individual support they need to ...
The LA make seek to Cease to Maintain (stop) the EHCP. Normally when the progress has been such that the child no longer needs the support of the EHCP. Most decisions to cease to maintain we see are ill-founded and for the most part not lawful. The EHCP can be transferred onto FE or an apprenticeship. Neither are grounds to Cease to Maintain. You h...
