My sixth form has said I need an EHC plan. What is this?

This is a plan which lists the education, health care and social care needs you have. It is a legal document which you can rely on and enforce. It must say what:

• special educational needs you have,
• help you require to meet these challenges,
• setting (or type of setting) you will attend (unless education otherwise than at/in a schoolapplies).

The first step will be for you, or someone at your sixth form, to request an EHC needs assessment. Your parent or carer can help you too. You can find out more about EHC needs assessments here.
