Description

An EHCP Needs Assessment is a detailed process to understand a child or young person’s special educational needs and determine if an EHCP is needed.
This workshop will explain what an EHCP (Education Health and Care Plan) is and how to request an assessment. We will look at the legal requirements for the process and the Bexley application form and process. The workshop will be delivered by the Bexley Voice Team.

Why attend

If you don’t feel that your child or young person’s needs are being met at SEN support level (special educational needs) you may wish to explore how an EHCP could help. In these workshops, we will provide information and answer any questions that you may have relating to this topic, helping you to feel more confident and less confused about the SEN support system. 

Where are they held? 

The workshops are held online and in person, either during the day or in the evening. 
In person: Danson Youth Centre, Brampton Road, Bexleyheath, DA7 4EZ
Online: via Microsoft TEAMS sessions from your home (you may need to download the app to your laptop or phone)

Do I need to book?

Yes, spaces are limited. You will need to complete the booking form on our events calendar. 

Although the workshops are provided free of charge, they do require Bexley Voice resources to run (finances and volunteer time), so it is very important that any registered places are taken up. If you know that you cannot attend a session, for which you have registered, we respectfully request that you let us know in advance, so that we can either offer someone else a space or postpone the session. If you need to cancel on the day, due to unforeseen circumstances, please let us know as soon as possible, even if this is after the event. We understand fully that on the day there can be emergencies which mean people cannot attend sessions for which they have registered.
