5. SEND & SCKP Education, Heath and Care (EHC) plans will replace statements of special educational need. Like the statement, the EHC plan will be a legal document specifying a child or young person’s special educational needs, the special educational provision they will get, and the school, college or other educational place they will attend. The EHC plan could begin at birth and continue until a young person is 25, if they still need the extra support to complete their education or training. The EHC plan will replace Learning Difficulty Assessments for young people over 16 in further education.
