EHCP – Education, Health and Care plan
- Many SEN children have EHCPs. Children require an Education, Health and Care plan if they require support beyond that which an educational setting can provide.
- SEN children might also have health and social care needs which would be included in an EHCP but related to their education.
- An EHCP is reviewed at least once a year to ensure all the information is up to date and the individual is receiving the best support.
- This is a legal document governed by the Children and Families Act 2014.
