If your child or young person has an EHCP, the Annual Review is your opportunity to make sure their plan is still right for them.

Knowing what to expect can help you feel more confident, have your say, and work together with professionals to shape positive outcomes for the future.

We’ve created a simple, impartial webpage that highlights the most important things you need to know.

🔗 Read it here: https://www.rksendiass.co.uk/annual-review

In addition, an all‑age Annual Review template has now been added to the Achieving for Children Local Offer pages. This template is designed to support a more consistent and streamlined approach to annual reviews across all age groups.
You can find the new template and further guidance here:

Are you a young person, parent or carer, involved in a SEND Tribunal case?

You may be asked to complete the SEND 45 Case Review Form when the Tribunal needs an update on the key issues in your case.

🔸When and Why?
The SEND 45 form is usually required before a Tribunal hearing to make sure everyone is clear on the main points that need a decision. For example, if your child’s Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is being challenged and new evidence has come up—like updated therapy reports—the Tribunal will ask for this form to keep the case focused.

✅ Our latest video explains the SEND 45 form step by step—what it is, why it matters, and how to complete it confidently.

Perfect for:
✔ Anyone preparing for a SEND Tribunal

👉 Don’t let paperwork hold you back—get the clarity you need today!
