Education information required by the LA to consider an EHC needs assessment request
- Evidence of the education providers arrangements (purposeful interventions), which are additional to and different from what is normally available through the differentiated curriculum for all children
- Copies of most recent SEND Support / Individual Plans or Provision Map information for the child plus details of regular reviews and their outcomes (Assess – Plan – Do – Review)
- Evidence of a baseline assessment – from which progress has been measured
- Evidence of subsequent adaptations to targets and strategies following review
- Evidence of SMART target setting and the child’s achievement towards these outcomes
- Detail of parent / carer involvement in discussion of special needs, and support for the child’s achievement of targets e.g. home / school agreements
- Detail of advisory professionals involved – including specialist advisers, outside agencies
- Working in consultation with teachers e.g. speech and language therapist; Educational Psychologist involvement is a statutory requirement at this stage
- Additional resources made available to the child to enable him / her to achieve their targets (e.g. laptop, ear defenders)
Where such evidence is not provided, it is likely that there will be a decision not to assess.
