Education, Health and Care (EHC) assessments

Education, Health and Care (EHC) assessments are comprehensive evaluations conducted to determine the needs of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). These assessments aim to identify the specific support and services required for the child to thrive in educational settings and beyond. Involvement from education, health, and social care professionals ensures a holistic approach, leading to an EHC plan that outlines tailored strategies and resources. This coordinated effort helps ensure that children receive the necessary assistance to achieve their full potential in both learning and daily life.
