See our local process for Education Health & Care plans. 

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.

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.
