Part 1. Who you Gonna Call? New Term, New EHC Plan?

Information and Help…

As we go into the new term, many of us will be focussed on our child or young person going back to education, or starting somewhere new for the first time. For around 800 families, the Transfer of their child’s Statements to and Education, Health & Care Plan (EHC Plan) is still outstanding. Other families may be seeking an assessment for an EHC Plan. We expect to have more detailed news on the new Transfer Services (for Statement to EHC Plans) by the second week in September. This detail will include a timeline and will indicate the order of Transfers. For immediate sources of information and advice, please follow the links below:
