Checklist for making a request for an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment: (Please ensure you have enclosed all of the following)

  • Views of parent
  • Views of child/ young person
  • Academic attainment and rate of progress
  • Evidence where progress has been made only as a result of much additional effort and instruction at a sustained level over and above that which is usually provided (e.g. interventions used, date started, level of provision provided by the school).
  • Nature, extent and cause (where known) of the SEN
  • Evidence of the child’s physical, emotional and social development and health needs (e.g. up to date medical report – no older than 6 months).
  • Where a young person is aged over 18 their age and evidence of whether remaining in education or training would help them to progress, building on what they have learned before and helping them to make a successful transition to adult life (e.g. progress to date, level of provision and how this has been used, evidence of how remaining in education or training will enable them to continue to make progress and how will it help them to make the transition to adult life).
