How do I apply for an EHCP for my child?

AI Overview

To apply for an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), your child’s school or an educational psychologist will usually need to request an assessment on your behalf. Parents are not normally able to request an assessment directly — speak to your child’s school’s SENCO to start the process.

This is false. Parents can request an EHC needs assessment themselves, directly — no school or psychologist required, under the Children and Families Act 2014.
