Support for children aged 0-25 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Education Health and Care (EHC) Needs Assessment process

This page explains what will happen if we (the local authority) have agreed to carry out an Education Health and Care (EHCEHCEducation, Health and Care) Needs AssessmentAssessment Measures children and young people’s learning and development and identifies additional needs. .

Along with health and other agencies, we will work with you and your child or young person to understand how we can best minimise disruption during the assessment. Where possible, appointments will be co-ordinated or combined and arrangements will be made to accommodate any particular needs or difficulties your child or young person has.

You and your child or young person will have access to impartial advice and information in relation to SEND, including the assessment process itself, EHCPs and personal budgets from SENDiass4BCP.
