Description
– This is a 1 hour recorded session available on demand –
An EHCP, or Education, Health and Care Plan, is a plan for children and young people up to the age of 25 who need more support than is usually available through special needs education.

The talk will cover:
• What is an EHCP?
• The EHCP application process
• Diagnostic and expert evidence
