Certificate in Understanding EHCP Processes and Procedures

EHCPs are for children and young people who require more support than is available through special educational needs support. The plans identify educational, health and social needs of the individual and set out the support they need to meet those needs. 

Education settings play an essential role in developing and implementing EHCPs; therefore, it is essential that staff understand EHCPs and the role of schools. 

Developed by Karen Pilling, highly experienced SEND expert, deputy headteacher and SENCO, this course will explore what an EHCP is, the EHCP process, and what a school’s responsibilities are for a child with an EHCP. 

Please note: This training course consists of learning through video, task completion, and further reading/research. Please consider this when planning and allocating your time. To successfully understand and achieve the objectives of the course, learners are expected to engage in all aspects of the learning process and complete all relevant activities to ensure they can successfully apply the knowledge and skills they have gained in their own school.
