Education and Health Care Plans
For the vast majority of children and young people, a SEND support plan is all that is required to meet their needs. However, a small number require more support than their school or other setting can provide. These individuals may be referred in for a full assessment of their education, health and care needs under the Children and Families Act 2014. Following this assessment, the Local Authority will decide whether the child or young person requires an education, health and care plan (EHCP). This sets out their individual needs in detail, the provision that is needed to meet these and who will deliver this. An EHCP has a legal status.
