How do I know if my child needs an EHC Plan?
An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), is required for children who have significant and long-term special educational needs.
The majority of children with a special educational need can be provided for with the funding already available in the settings, or by the setting applying for inclusion funding.
If a child has a significant and long-term special educational need or disability that the setting or parent thinks cannot be supported by the ordinary provision already available in the setting, then an application for an education health and needs assessment can be made.
