EHCP Amendment Support
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 pinpoint what needs to change and secure those amendments.
An EHCP should grow with your child, not gather dust.
When the plan stops fitting, we help you rewrite it.
The Section F problem
Vague provision is not just frustrating.
It is unenforceable.
We identify where the plan lacks specificity and propose clearer, quantified wording that can be understood, monitored and delivered.
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.
Draft plan reviews
Received a draft EHCP?
We go through the draft line by line and tell you exactly what is missing, vague, or unenforceable before it is finalised. Once a plan is final, the route to change it is slower and more formal, so the draft stage is the cheapest point at which to fix it.
Review my draft EHCPSection B, F and I
Amendments and disputes.
Needs described too vaguely in Section B. Provision in Section F that is not specific enough to hold anyone to. The wrong school named in Section I. Each of these is a distinct ground, and each is challenged differently. We help you identify which applies and put it properly.
How disputes are resolvedWhy 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
We support you from reviewing the plan to securing the right amendments.
Review your current EHCP
We read the plan carefully, identify what is missing, vague, or incorrect, and explain what should be there instead.
Prepare the amendment request
We write 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, we explain 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. We make sure 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, we guide 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.
