EHCP - existing school

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?

  • It’s your preference. If you want him to be in mainstream school still they have to acknowledge that. We are at the beginning of our ehcp process but please read up on the sen code of practice and law. I found it very helpful to learn about the rights we have as parents and carers.
