What to expect in an EHCP
An EHCP should:
- describe what the child or young person can do
- show how education, health and care will be coordinated
- consider alternative ways of providing support
- specify clear outcomes
- include the views of you and your child
- be clear and concise
We put the child or young person and their family at the centre of the assessment and planning process. This means we’ll:
- involve the child or young person and you as much as possible in making decisions
- coordinate services between education, health and social care to make sure care is aligned
- coordinate a joint assessment so that you only need to say what you need once
One of the ways you may be involved is through the mapping process. Watch a video on what a mapping session is:
Personal EHCP budgets
You can ask for a personal budget for the provisions agreed in your child’s EHCP. This can only be done:
- when the EHCP is being drafted
- when the EHCP is being reviewed or reassessed
