The EHCP should contain the types of provision (help and support) your child will need, for example equipment, individual teaching support hours, specialist teaching and therapies such as Speech and Language as well as naming the school, nursery or college that your child will attend. You will have a say in all of this, including some legal rights, and there is a process, including tribunal if you do not agree with your child’s draft EHCP.
The EHCP process can be complicated, and we recommend that you read and understand your child’s EHCP before agreeing it. There is support out there, some of which is free, and some of which you would pay for. This includes professional help with EHCP assessments and appeals. Below are some useful sources of information and support.
