The EHC assessment brings together information about your child's needs. It works out what they need in order to learn and thrive.
How we listen to your views
The assessment must listen to the wishes of the child or young person, and their parents. This is called a person-centred approach.
You’ll be able to add your views (including pictures and video) to the assessment section in the EHC hub. If you don’t know how to do this, talk to your SENCo or ask SENDIAS for advice.
What the assessment should include
The assessment includes information from:
you and your child
your early years setting, school or college
professionals who support your child (for example, education psychologist, paediatrician, social worker)
The assessment will provide advice and information. It must:
be clear and specific
set out the needs of your child or young person
describe what special educational provision will meet those needs
describe what the provision aims to achieve (outcomes)
How to view the assessment
Log onto the EHC hub and go to the ‘assessment’ page. You can also find the advice that the professionals provided, and their names.
