Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCP)

An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is a document which supports children and young people with special educational needs in education.

Most mainstream schools/settings and colleges will be able to meet your child's special educational needs. However, if your child needs more support than the school can provide they may need an EHCP.
