EHCP Support

EHCP needs assessments

If you are asking your Local Authority for an Education, Health and Care needs assessment, the request itself matters. Support here focuses on setting out your child’s needs clearly, in your own words, alongside the evidence you already hold.

You can buy a toolkit to structure everything yourself, or send what you have for written support and a review.

Refusal to assess

A refusal to assess is not the end of the road. Support focuses on understanding the reasons given, identifying the gaps in what the Local Authority considered, and organising your evidence so your next step is clear.

EHCP appeals and SEND Tribunal preparation

If you are appealing a decision, the paperwork can feel overwhelming. Support here is about preparation: getting your evidence in order, understanding what each section of the plan is saying, and knowing what you are asking for and why.

This is preparation and written input only — it does not include representation at Tribunal or communication with your Local Authority.

Evidence gathering

Most EHCP difficulties come down to evidence: what has been recorded, by whom, and how consistently. A toolkit walks you through what to gather, how to describe it, and how to index it so decision makers can follow it.

Annual Review support

An Annual Review is your opportunity to update the plan so it reflects your child now. Support covers what to submit before the meeting, how to describe what has changed, and how to raise the amendments you want considered.

Written advice from Jess

If you would rather talk it through or ask one clear question, you can send it to Jess for a personalised written reply, or book time in the diary.
