An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is a single multi-agency plan for children and young people aged 0-25 who have Special Educational Needs or Disabilities.
The Special Educational Needs Assessment and Review Team (SENART) manages the Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans process at Wakefield Council.
The following datasets summarise activity in relation to: the statutory assessment process; issuing Education, Health and Care Plans; and representing Wakefield Council at SEND Tribunals:
Note: (i) Small anomalies in the assessments data can occur where families move to a different Local Authority area before an assessment process is completed, or where a parent withdraws a request for assessment. (ii) For the breakdown of specialist provision, data for August is excluded as this is the period of transfer from primary to secondary school.
