Document vP2 - UYpdated November 2016.

The purpose of this document is to help ensure that Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans written for children and young people with sensory impairments contain the information mandated by the SEND COP 2015.

This will ensure that these children and young people (CYP) have all their needs clearly identified resulting in appropriate provision being defined and then delivered across education, health and social care so that these CYP can achieve better outcomes and, by so doing, improve their life chances.

This document is for all professionals who are:

• responsible for the overall production of EHC plans for children and young people with sensory impairment
• required to contribute to EHC plans for children and young people with sensory impairment

The third edition (Jan 2017) of the NDCS/NatSIP resource Assessing and monitoring the progress of deaf children and young people.
