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, your child’s school, or a doctor can ask the council to carry out an assessment. This is the first step.
Write to the council’s SEND team. Say you want an assessment, and explain why your child needs more support.
The council must decide within 6 weeks whether to carry out the assessment.
