My local authority says it wants to press ahead with the proposals set out in the Schools White Paper. It has sent to me a list of schools to choose from. Do I have to pick one of these schools?

No. The law has not changed.

The plans set out in the Schools White Paper are simply proposals. They are not law. Your local authority (LA) must continue to apply the law, including in respect of placement for children and young people with EHC plans.

You can read about your rights to request a particular school or other setting to be named in an EHC plan on our website.
