EHCP Support for Parents
At Ashdown Tuition, I offer comprehensive EHCP support for families and schools across Sussex, Surrey, and Kent. With experience as a Primary Teacher, Assistant Headteacher, and Qualified SENCO, I provide expert guidance through the Education, Health & Care Plan process, ensuring your child’s needs are clearly understood and met.
What is an EHCP?
An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is a legal document that outlines the specific support a child with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) requires to succeed in their education. It includes details about the child’s learning needs, the provision required, and how the support will be delivered.
Why Parents Seek Help
Many parents I assist express feelings of:
- Being overwhelmed by the complex paperwork and legal jargon
- Uncertainty about which reports or evidence are necessary
- Anxiety over whether their child’s needs will be adequately recognized
- Frustration from previous applications being delayed or declined
How I can help you
provide personalized EHCP support services, such as:
- Comprehensive guidance through each stage of the application process
- Assistance in drafting or reviewing your EHCP request to ensure clarity and completeness
- Ensuring that all evidence accurately reflects your child’s needs and strengths
- Simplifying complex legal language to make the process more understandable
- Empowering you with knowledge about your rights and entitlements as a parent
My Approach
Every child is unique, and I take time to listen and understand your child’s story. My aim is to remove some of the stress from the process so you feel confident that your child’s needs are represented fairly and clearly.
Parents I’ve supported often say that having someone “on their side” made all the difference.
