Find out what happens when you have an education, health and care plan (EHCP) assessment.
What is an education, health and care plan (EHCP)?
- An education, health and care plan (EHCP) looks at all your needs in education, health and care that make it hard for you to learn
- You will look at what you would like to work towards and what help you need to do it
- The special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCo) will help if you feel that you need extra help. They can ask for an education, health and care plan (EHCP) assessment for you
Where can I get help?
- the special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCo) is the first person to speak to about an education, health and care plan (EHCP)
- if you want more help, or are worried, you can contact the SEND information, advice and support service (SENDIASS)
Ask for a needs assessment
If you are 16 years old or older you can ask for your own assessment.
Please contact us.
How long will the assessment take?
As soon as we get the assessment request, we have 20 weeks to do the whole process.
You can find more information about timelines for EHCPs on our Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) journey page.
Reviewing the plan
Once the final plan has been shared there will be a meeting every year to talk about the plan.
From Year 9 this meeting must talk about your independence as part of your preparation for adulthood.
