Education, Health and Care Plans

Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) are official documents in the UK that outline the specific educational, health, and social support a child or young person with special needs requires. They are designed to ensure the individual receives tailored assistance to help them reach their potential. An EHCP is created through a legal process involving professionals, parents, and the young person, and it details the goals, support arrangements, and services needed. It’s reviewed regularly to adapt to changing needs, promoting an inclusive approach that supports the individual's development and well-being.
