Annual review of EHCPs
Every child or young person who has an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) must have an annual review. The review checks how well they have met the outcomes in their plan.
By receiving support that meets their needs, the level of support should ideally reduce over time. If a young person has made good progress, you may discuss them moving from an EHCP to an additional needs plan.
