If your child has special educational needs that cannot be met through normal school support, they may need an EHC Plan.

What's the difference between SEN Support and an EHC Plan?

How long does the EHC assessment process take?

Can I appeal if my EHC request is refused?

Yes, you have the right to appeal to the SEND Tribunal within 2 months of the decision.
