EHCP Amendment Consultancy England
Help getting your child's EHCP amended.
Many families have an EHCP that no longer reflects their child's needs, contains vague language, or names provision that simply is not being delivered. We help you identify what needs to change and secure those changes.
You shouldn't have to become a legal expert to get your child the support they're entitled to.
But here we are - and we're not going anywhere.
The Section F problem
Vague provision is not just frustrating.
It is unenforceable.
Section F of the EHCP is the legally binding part. Every provision must be specific, quantified, and named. When it is not, schools can claim they are meeting the plan while delivering almost nothing.
Why families need amendments
Common reasons an EHCP needs to change.
Select a reason to understand what the law says and how we can help.
Your child has been diagnosed with something new, or their needs have escalated, but the EHCP still reflects an earlier, less complete picture.
The EHCP uses phrases like "some support" or "as appropriate" language that allows the local authority to deliver far less than your child needs.
The school or setting named in the plan is not meeting your child's needs, and the plan needs to reflect a different placement.
The annual review recommended changes, but the local authority has not amended the plan, or has amended it inadequately.
How we help
Our EHCP help from reviewing the plan to securing the right amendments.
Review your current EHCP
Our EHCP help includes reading the plan carefully, identifying what is missing, vague, or incorrect, and explaining what should be there instead.
Prepare the amendment request
Our EHCP help includes writing a clear, evidenced request for amendment whether following an annual review or at any point during the year.
Challenge the response
If the local authority refuses to amend or makes inadequate changes, our EHCP help explains your options including appeal to the SEND tribunal.
Secure the right plan
We work until the EHCP accurately reflects your child's needs and contains specific, measurable, legally enforceable provision.
Common questions
EHCP amendments frequently asked questions.
You can request an amendment at any time, not just at the annual review. Our EHCP help ensures you don't have to wait if your child's needs have changed significantly.
If the local authority refuses to amend the EHCP or makes changes you disagree with, our EHCP help guides you through appealing to the SEND tribunal. Deadlines apply.
Provision in Section F of the EHCP must be specific and quantified naming the type, amount, and frequency of support. Vague language is not enforceable.
Yes. If you disagree with the school named in Section I, you can appeal to the tribunal. This is one of the most common reasons families appeal.
