Background
An EHC plan is a legally binding document outlining a child or teenager’s special educational, health, and social care needs. The document has to list all of the child’s special educational needs, provision to meet each of the needs and that provision has to be specific, detailed, and quantified.
Without an EHCP schools are not obliged to make changes or put provisions in place to support the SEND Child, and unfortunately this happens all to often.
