Apply for an education, health, and care plan

The SEN Team completes Education, Health, and Care (EHC) assessments for children and young people 0-25 with SEND.

The EHC needs assessments step-by-step has detailed information on how to apply for an assessment.

If an assessment for a child or young person is agreed, you will be allocated a named SEN Officer. They will make contact with you during the process.

The EHC needs assessment process timeline is a visual of what happens at different parts of the process. It also includes when you can expect contact from an SEN Officer.

If an EHC Plan is finalised for a child or young person, the SEN Officer will remain the officer for 6 months from the date of the final EHC Plan.

After 6 months, the SEN Officer for a child or young person's educational setting will become the child or young person's officer.
