AI always sounds confident, even when it's wrong

No sources. No sign Riverside exists. And the one fact that matters is false. Ask Meridian when your green bin goes out and it's right every time. That's not because it's cleverer about bins. It's because Riverside publishes bin days in a way search engines can read, and nobody publishes "how to ask for an EHC needs assessment" like that.

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