SEN support

An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is for young people who need more support than is available through SEN Support.

It identifies educational, health, and social needs, and outlines the additional support needed. To apply for an assessment, you should speak with your Local Education Authority (LEA) or healthcare professional. It is important to note, however, that not all assessments result in the development of an EHCP.
