Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)

An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is a legal document in the UK that outlines the support and services a child with special educational needs and disabilities requires. It integrates educational, health, and social care needs into one comprehensive plan, ensuring a coordinated approach. An EHCP is tailored to the individual child, detailing their specific requirements, goals, and the resources needed to help them thrive. It is designed to ensure that children receive the appropriate support to enhance their learning and development, enabling them to participate fully in education and achieve their potential.
