Parents and carers can request an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment (EHCNA) if they believe their child may need more support than is normally available in their educational setting.
You can make this request by completing a Parental EHC Needs Assessment request form
Before completing the form, you may find it helpful to gather information about your child’s needs, their current support, and any professional reports you may already have.
We understand that completing the form can feel daunting. To support you, we have created a step-by-step guidance document in our resources section, which explains each part of the form and offers helpful tips on what information to include.
If you need further support, please contact SIASS – we are here to help you understand the process and feel confident in making your request.
