EHCP Parent Handbook — A Practical Guide for Parents and SEND Professionals

Navigating the Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) process can feel overwhelming, particularly when you are unsure what information to include, which evidence matters or how to respond when an application encounters difficulties. The Support School’s EHCP Parent Handbook brings clear explanations and practical resources together to help you approach each stage with greater understanding and confidence.

This comprehensive, 215-page digital handbook covers the EHCP process in England across 16 chapters, from requesting an EHC needs assessment and gathering supporting evidence through to reviewing a draft plan, preparing for annual reviews and requesting amendments. It also explains the options available when difficulties arise, including refusals to assess or issue a plan, mediation and appeals.

What’s included?

  • Guidance on the application process, key deadlines and preparing evidence.

  • Explanations of EHCP sections and how to check whether a plan accurately reflects a child’s needs and required provision.

  • Guidance on mediation, appeals, annual reviews and amendments.

  • Practical templates, checklists, workbooks and trackers placed after their matching chapters.

  • Advice on communicating with schools, local authorities and professionals.

  • Clickable contents and bookmarks to help you find the information you need.

For parents and carers, the handbook provides a structured way to organise information, prepare for meetings and understand the next steps. For SENCOs, teachers and other SEND professionals, it offers a practical reference to support informed conversations and collaborative planning with families.

The handbook covers the EHCP system in England. It provides general information and practical guidance; the purchase does not include individual advice, representation or a guaranteed outcome.
