EHCP - existing school

ukasddad

My son is having his EHC needs assessment currently. Assuming we get granted an EHCP, my assumption is the local authority will consult his current mainstream school first.

What would happen if they reject it? They definitely could support him with the right funding, but there's no guarantee that's what is written in the draft EHCP.

Would the local authority just consult other mainstream schools initially and see if there any other takers?

Or would they go straight to look at autism/COIN units?

  • I can tell you from our experience. Ours was rejected, so we appealed. We were fortunate that a friend put us in touch with someone who helped and it was agreed on appeal. If it were rejected I believe IPSEA can help. The result for us was to select a school to go to, as he was in year 6, then we had to wait for them to confirm if they could meet his needs.
