Guidelines to assessment for (EHCP)
An education, health and care (EHC) plan is for children and young people aged up to 25 who need more support than is available through special educational needs support.
EHC plans identify educational, health and social needs and set out the additional support to meet those needs.
Please find MKCC documents:
Please find the guidelines for assessment for an EHCP, under the EHCP documents for professional’s section.
Change of placement
Most children with an EHC plan can be taught within mainstream schools - read more about choosing a school.
If a child or young person has more severe or complex needs then they may need to go to a special school, or a special unit within a school - this will be discussed at the inclusion and EHC panel meeting and decided by the special school panel, which is made up of education, health and social care professionals.
Information on changing placement can be found on our EHCP plans and processes page, under choosing a school for a child or young person with an EHCP.
Guidelines for a Special school
Every school publishes details about how it will support pupils with SEND and most children with SEND can be taught in mainstream schools. If your child has more severe or complex needs, then they may need to go to a special school or a special unit within a school.
Information on guidelines for a special school can be found on our Starting or changing school and transition support page, under choosing a school.
