How do I apply for an EHCP for my child?
AI-generated answer
An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) gives extra support to a child or young person with special educational needs.
You don't have to be the one who asks. You, your child's school, or a doctor can request an assessment. This is the first step.
Contact the council's SEND team, by letter, email, or the request form on the website. Say you want an assessment, and explain why your child needs more support. A few sentences about what's worrying you is enough, you don't need years of records. If putting it into words is hard, Riverside's SENDIASS service can help, including if English isn't your first language.
The council must decide within 6 weeks whether to carry out the assessment.
