EHCP can i move home and keep my EHCP, or do i re-apply

Hi. 

My 8 year old son, Bear, is diagnosed autistic, with ODD, and Epilepsy.  His school and us have jusy completed his EHCP and are now waiting for a reply.  We wondered if we wanted him to go to a special school, as he is struggling in mainstream school,  if we wanted one in a different county, can the plan be moved with us, or do we need to re-apply?    we want him to go to a school in Dorset, but we live in Hertfordshire. We have a council house, and wondered if we could get them to help us relocate to Dorset. Everything is up in the air at the moment, and its hard to make plans without knowing what we can do.  

I also have a bi-polar disabled husband, and want to move to be near the school, as  I want Bear to go daily, and definitely not residential.  plus, we would be mocving nearer my dad, who is ill.     does anyone know what help/advice we can get regarding this. as everything hinges on whether we can move or not. 

thanks so much for reading this.  :)

  • Hi Recombinantsocks, :) I will check that site, thank you very much. :)  

        my husband was diagnosed with bi-polar, after having a life changing accident at work 10 years ago, leaving him physically disabled, and now unable to work again.    he did have learning difficulties as a child, so maybe some of my sons issues are inherited.   but  i dont think he has autism.     it seems to be just my son, as our other 3 children are neorotypical.
