EHC Plan — Sections A–I
Decision · week 1 of 20 · next statutory date: decide at week 6, 5 to go · last section edited 2026-09-12
Plain English, no acronyms on first use. Says what happens next and who is responsible. Names strengths before deficits because a parent reads this as a judgement of them whether or not it is meant as one.
A vantage reorders and rewrites. It never widens: these are the same nine sections in every view. Section A opens all ten. 2 written for this view. 1 held back, with a summary.
Views, interests and aspirations

The child or young person's special educational needs
ehc-senco the professional record, word for word edited 2026-09-10SEMH: withdrawn and tearful. He shuts down in lessons after a handover and has twice refused to go out at playtime. Concentration has dropped: work produced fell by about half across the summer term. Attendance 88% (was 97%), with absences on changeover Mondays and Fridays. The separation is NOT the need. Its effect on his emotional wellbeing and his access to learning is.

Outcomes
ehc-keyworker written for parent or carer edited 2026-09-12Meals on changeover days start now and need nothing from either of you. The other two take a term or more.
Special educational provision
ehc-senco the professional record, word for word edited 2026-09-12PROPOSED: ELSA sessions 1:1, 30 minutes weekly for 12 weeks, with a trained ELSA. Daily 10-minute check-in on arrival with Ms Hart (class teacher). A calm space he can use when he chooses, up to 15 minutes per use. No 'as required'.
Social care provision
ehc-social-worker the professional record, word for word edited 2026-09-12H1: breakfast club place and a guaranteed hot lunch on every changeover day. H2: handovers moved from the school gate to a neutral point, agreed by both parents. H3: parenting-through-separation course offered to each parent separately, 6 sessions.
Health needs relating to SEN
ehc-doctor the professional record, word for word edited 2026-09-11Brian had an operation to remove a tumour in his leg and is recovering. The hospital team follows him up; walking distance, stairs and running are still limited, and he tires by the afternoon. Recovery has meant hospital appointments and time out of school. School nurse (Priya) also notes morning stomach aches and missed breakfasts on changeover days; GP (Dr Okonkwo) links those to stress at home, not to the leg. Education consequence: reduced stamina, restricted PE and playtime, and lost learning time from appointments.

Social care needs relating to SEN
ehc-social-worker edited 2026-09-11Each parent's own words to the family support worker are kept private from the other parent. You can read what is agreed, not what the other parent said.
