Book a free callThe council has said no to an EHC needs assessment before one has even started.
“We have decided not to proceed with an EHC needs assessment.”
The assessment has happened, and the council has decided not to issue an EHC plan.
“Having completed the assessment, we have decided not to issue an EHC plan.”
An EHC plan exists, but Sections B and F don't properly describe your child's needs or the support they get.
The dispute here is usually the plan itself, not a letter: vague wording like “access to” or “as required” in Section F is the tell.
The council has named a school you don't agree with, or left Section I empty.
The dispute is usually Section I of the plan itself: the wrong school named, or none named at all.
The fight reaches beyond education into the health and social care provision written into the plan.
This runs alongside an education appeal: the tell is a dispute over Sections G and H of the plan, not a separate letter.
Casework prices, VAT included. If your case combines more than one of these, for example plan contents and a different school, it is quoted at the higher price, never stacked.
