The SEND Assessment and Review Team are responsible for making decisions around children and young people with special educational needs. They will assess the need of an Educational Health and Care (EHC) plan.
The team are responsible for the continuing administration and any amendments to the content of the plan during its lifetime. This can be up to 24 years.
The team liaise closely with other services such as health, social care and education settings. This is to ensure that the special education provision in the plan is being delivered.
The provision is additional to or different from that which is ordinarily available as universal provision in schools.
The team receive requests for EHC Plans from education settings, parents and other professionals such as social care.
