Navigating EHCPs: A Step-by-Step Guide for Parents

A short guide on EHCP's and how to apply for one in the UK for additional support with your children who may have SEN. 

Applying for an EHCP can feel like assembling flat-pack furniture with missing instructions. But don’t worry—we’re here to help!

Step 1: What is an EHCP?

An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is a legally binding document that outlines the support a child with SEN needs. It covers education, health, and social care, ensuring they get the help they require.

Step 2: How to Apply

  1. Request an Assessment from your local authority.

  2. Gather Evidence—reports from teachers, doctors, and specialists.

  3. Attend Meetings to discuss your child’s needs.

  4. Review the Draft EHCP before it’s finalised.

Step 3: What If You’re Rejected?

Appeal! Many initial applications are refused, but persistence pays off.
