Everything you need to know about EHCPs

What is an EHCP and How Can It Help Your Child?
If you’re a parent of a child with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), you may have heard of an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP), but what is it exactly? This blog will give you a brief overview of what an EHCP is, how it can benefit your child, and how to apply for one.

What is an EHCP?
An EHCP is a legal document that outlines the support a child with SEND is entitled to receive across education, health, and social care. It’s designed to ensure that children and young people get the appropriate support to help them succeed in education and beyond. This might include extra help in school, therapy services, or support with other needs like mobility or mental health.
Who is Eligible for an EHCP?
An EHCP is for children who need more support than what’s usually provided in school. If your child is struggling despite receiving support, an EHCP can ensure that additional resources are put in place. The process involves an assessment by local authorities, which may include input from schools and healthcare professionals.

How Does an EHCP Help?
An EHCP ensures that your child’s support needs are clearly identified and met. It helps by:

Providing personalised support: The plan details exactly what support your child needs, whether in the classroom, at home, or through therapy.

Ensuring consistent help: The EHCP ensures that support continues across different environments.

Improving communication: It facilitates collaboration between parents, schools, and other professionals to ensure the right support is in place.
