Post-16 pupils with special educational needs

SEND reforms

Special education needs and disabilities (SEND) reforms came into effect in September 2014. Those with a Statement or Learning Difficulty Assessment (LDA) are likely to have been transferred to an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan.

The EHC plan is developed with you, your family, and any professionals supporting your education, health and care.

It clearly sets out the support you'll require from 0 to 25 to avoid families having to ‘tell their stories’ many times to different services. By 1 April 2018, all young people were transferred to an EHC plan.
