An Education, Health and Care (EHC) Needs Assessment can be requested by parents, carers, teachers or any other professional involved with a child or young person; they can also be requested by a young person over the age of 16. You can read more information about EHC assessments and plans here.
The drop down menus below provide links to many of the forms and guidance documents used as part of these assessments, as well as the forms and guidance used for Annual Reviews once an EHC Plan has been issued.
