Book My Annual Review PreparationEHCP help means practical support to understand the process, organise evidence and decide what to raise next. EHCP advice here means clear written input, document review and preparation based on the information you provide.
This is EHCP support for parents who want help expressing their child’s needs and preparing questions or written comments. It is not legal advice, solicitor representation or Tribunal representation.
An EHC needs assessment is the Local Authority’s process for deciding whether a child or young person needs an Education, Health and Care Plan. Parents can make the request themselves; the school does not have to make it for them.
Support here focuses on setting out your child’s needs clearly, in your own words, alongside the evidence you already hold.
You can ask for written support to structure everything, or send what you have for a review.
If the Local Authority refuses to assess, or assesses but refuses to issue a plan, it must explain its decision and the available challenge route. Depending on the decision, this may include mediation consideration and an appeal to the SEND Tribunal.
Practical support can help you understand the decision letter, identify gaps, organise evidence and prepare your next step. It is not solicitor or Tribunal representation.
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.
Useful evidence can include school records, SEN support plans, attendance information, professional reports, examples of support already tried, records of unmet need, your child’s views and a clear parent account. A diagnosis is not required to request an assessment: the decision should focus on needs and the support that may be necessary.
Written support can help you decide what is relevant, describe it clearly and create an index so decision makers can follow it.
When a draft EHCP is issued, parents can check whether Section B clearly describes every identified special educational need and whether Section F specifies the provision required for each need. Wording should be clear enough to understand what will be delivered, by whom, how often and for how long.
Jess can review the draft, help organise your comments and identify questions or gaps for you to raise. Final decisions remain with the Local Authority, and this service does not replace legal advice.
An Annual Review checks whether the EHCP still reflects your child’s needs, outcomes, provision and placement. Parents can prepare by gathering current evidence, recording what has changed and setting out any amendments they want considered.
Jess can help organise your evidence and prepare your written contribution or your questions for the meeting, but does not attend as your representative through this service.
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.
Plain answers to the questions parents ask most about this support.
Any parent can write to their Local Authority requesting an Education, Health and Care needs assessment — you do not need the school’s agreement. What matters is setting out your child’s needs clearly with supporting evidence. Written support helps you structure that request so it lands well first time.
A refusal is not the end of the road. You have the right to appeal to the SEND Tribunal, and many refusals are overturned. The first step is understanding the reasons given and the gaps in what was considered — that is exactly what the support here focuses on.
No. A diagnosis can help as evidence, but an EHCP is based on your child’s needs, not a label. Consistent records of what your child experiences day to day are often more powerful than a single report.
No. Support here is preparation and written input: organising your evidence, understanding what each section of the plan says, and knowing what you are asking for and why. Jess does not represent you at Tribunal or communicate with the Local Authority on your behalf.

The legal framework sets a 20-week overall timetable from request to final plan, with 6 weeks for the assessment decision. In practice it often runs longer, which is why well-organised evidence from the start matters — it reduces avoidable delays.
Written support is usually returned within 5 working days, and Ask Jess questions within 2 working days. You can also book a call for a same-week conversation. Each option shows its turnaround before you pay or book.
