SEND Support Lancashire

Practical EHCP Support for Families

An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) can involve a lot of paperwork, professional reports and deadlines. We help families make sense of the documents, organise their information and prepare clear questions for the people involved.

Practical help, clearly scoped

Support with organising information, preparing documents and planning questions. We are not a regulated law firm and do not provide reserved legal services, regulated legal advice or legal representation.

Where practical support can help

You may be requesting an assessment, responding to a draft plan, preparing for a review or trying to understand what happens next. We can help you create a clear timeline, sort relevant reports and describe your child’s needs and day-to-day experience in your own words.

Making the paperwork easier to use

We can help you make a document checklist, summarise information you provide, identify areas you want to ask about and prepare for a meeting. The focus is on helping you communicate your own experience clearly; we do not make decisions for the local authority or professionals.

A parent-focused starting point

Begin with what is happening now, what your child finds difficult, what helps, and what you would like to change. Keep copies of reports and correspondence, note important dates, and write down any questions before meetings. Our draft EHCP review, Section F support and annual review support pages explain related help.
