Common questions
Before you make a move.
The answer depends on your documents and the procedure that applies.
Does support always end at 18?
No. Age alone does not settle whether an EHCP remains appropriate.
Who should be involved in the decision?
The young person’s views and the evidence about education and training should be considered.
What should I send first?
Send the decision, the relevant deadline and the key documents. A short timeline helps us understand what happened.
