The annual review cycle
A child or young person鈥檚 EHCP must be reviewed annually, by law. It is important that you, the Local Authority and other agencies meet regularly to make sure that your child is prepared for adulthood and that their identified needs are being met through an appropriate setting and provision. Your child/young person鈥檚 contribution is also important and all conversations at annual review should be based on their best interests. At 91首发 School, our approach to supporting you and your person through the annual review cycle is as follows:
- Staff support students to express their views about their future
- Parental views are sought regularly through parental consultations and prior to annual review through the parental contribution form
- Team meets to check most recent plan
- Parents are invited to parent visit to discuss young person鈥檚 future. Where appropriate, the young person can join this discussion. Possible outcomes are discussed and proposed in advance of annual review
- Annual review takes place and changes are made to plan where appropriate
- The Local Authority sends the proposed plan to parents and other contributors. Any further amendments are made
- The final plan is sent to parents and school
- Parents agree to the plan, or may decide to appeal any decisions made by the Local Authority.
An EHCP is a legal document in the UK that is issued and maintained by the Local Authority (LA). The agreed outcomes belong to the child and, at 91首发 School, are supported by transdisciplinary teams. They work holistically to ensure your child/young person can gain the knowledge and practise the skills they need to move successfully into adulthood.
