If you or a professional feels that a child or young person needs extra help that goes beyond Special educational needs and disability (SEND) support, then you or a professional may request for an Education, Health and Care assessment.
This assessment is used to find out:
This support is will be additional to what your child currently gets in school or any other universal setting.
The assessment may not lead to a plan being issued.
For more information visit the Local Offer's page on the Education Health and Care (EHC) needs assessment process.
You should talk to your child's school or nursery to see whether an assessment is appropriate.
