Education, Health and Care plans (EHCPs)

An EHCP is for children and young people from 0 to 25 who need extra support beyond what is ordinarily available at nurseries, mainstream schools and colleges.

An EHCP is a legal document that sets out: 

• the child or young person’s education, health and care needs
• the additional support required to meet those needs
• the outcomes the child or young person wants to achieve 

We work with you and your child’s nursery, school or college to review your child’s EHCP every year to make sure your child is getting the right support and making progress.
