Have you received your long awaited EHCP draft?

Is it vague, ambiguous or open to interpretation, using phrases such as, ‘may need…..would benefit from….where possible…..with an adult……’?

When you receive a draft EHCP, it is vital to review the wording carefully. In particular, Section B should provide the strongest and most accurate description of your child’s needs and abilities, fully reflecting all professional advice and reports available.

If an EHCP is unclear or imprecise, it is far more likely to result in unsuitable provision and ineffective support.

All Edvocation Services consultants are IPSEA SEN Law Level 3 trained. We understand what is required to make an EHCP both effective and legally compliant. We can lift the gloom and help you to secure a bright future for your child.

If you would like support reviewing a draft EHCP, please email

enquiries@edvocationservices.com

to arrange your free initial consultation.

At Edvocation Services, we keep the individual at the heart of everything we do.

We’re keeping a close eye on this….

Recent reporting by The i paper and Financial Times has speculated that the Government may propose a fundamental restructuring of the SEND system, including a four-tier support model and digital passports, while restricting EHC plans to children and young people whose needs cannot be met within those tiers.

A system that requires children and young people to move sequentially through tiers of support, combined with reduced access to EHC plans, risks leaving children and young people with no statutory protection or enforceable provision. It would move away from meeting individual needs and could effectively require children to fail before qualifying for legal support.

While this is speculation, and we await details of the White Paper, at IPSEA we will continue to fight for all children and young people to be able to access an education which meets their individual needs. Any reform of the SEND system must strengthen, not weaken, the legal protections that ensure children and young people receive the educational provision they need.
