Request an EHC needs assessment

Before starting, we recommend reading the form on this page and collating all of the relevant information that you have.

To protect your sensitive information, it's not possible to part complete your request and send it to us at a later time. However, there will be opportunity to add more information and upload documents after we receive your request.

We will use the information in this form to consider whether to conduct a needs assessment under the requirements of the Children & Families Act 2014.

We may also share relevant information on a confidential basis with the Department for Education and Local Government, other Government agencies and other public bodies involved with the implementation of the new legislation as required to meet our statutory obligations.

The information that you and other professionals provide will normally be shared with your consent. Examples of situations when we may share information without your consent are:

  • If we need to find out urgently if a child is at risk of harm or we need to help a child who is at risk of harm.
  • If we need to help an adult who is at risk of harm.
  • If we need to help prevent or detect a serious crime.
By ticking this box I agree to the gathering and sharing of information between my educational setting, health services, social care or other professionals as necessary to support the EHC needs assessment and planning process.
