Education Health and Care Plans in North Somerset

Request an education, health and care assessment online

Video's have been created to help you through the process of applying for an EHCP online and can be seen at the end of this page. 

We have created some easy-to-read guides for parents, and some guides specifically for children and young people on the EHCP process.

This information has been co-produced with families and professionals to enable everyone to understand the local area’s processes and procedures for supporting children and young people with SEND. 

There is formal guidance on the local approach to Education Health and Care Planning Assessment.  It is important to read the chapters on the graduated response alongside these as they include information about how schools and early years settings must support children and young people with SEND.

The document has been broken up into sections based on stages of a child’s progress through pre-school and education.  You can download the whole set of chapters as one document.
