The Department for Education has today (15 June) launched a consultation on the actions that a local authority should have to take if it proposes to amend an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan following a review meeting. We are writing to alert you to the consultation and to ask for your help to raise awareness of the consultation by alerting your networks etc.
We believe that the principal audiences for the consultation paper will be:
- children and young people with EHC plans and their families
- organisations representing children and young people with SEND and their families
- LA SEND officers
- any early years setting, school, college or other setting attended by children or young people with an EHC plan
- educational psychologists, health professionals, social care professionals and others involved in the review of EHC plans
Some of the key points relating to the consultation are set out below.
We will be very interested in your views, please do consider responding: the consultation closes on 12 August.
