This website shows the EHC process from the perspective of families and aims to support areas to improve local services.
Please explore the range of content and resources and reflect on the parts of the process most relevant to you or your organisation.
Education, Health and Care (EHC) assessments and planning is the process carried out if someone thinks a child or young person may need extra support to make good educational progress. The key stages of the process are: Identifying, Assessing, Planning, Actioning and Reviewing.
Find out what parents experience at each step:
“Anyone can bring a child or young person who they believe has or probably has SEN or a disability to the attention of a local authority and parents, early years providers, schools and colleges have an important role in doing so”.
