Secure the EHC Needs Assessment your students deserve by building a flawless, bulletproof evidence trail.
Submitting an Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessment request to the Local Authority is notoriously high-stakes. With LAs strictly vetting requests, having disorganized or insufficient paperwork is the number one reason applications are turned down during the initial 6-week decision window.
For just £3, this premium Evidence for an EHC Needs Assessment Request Guide provides school leaders, SENCOs, and families with a systematic framework to gather, organize, and submit a robust evidence pack that Local Authorities cannot ignore.
