We have been working hard to make it easier for you to contact us to get questions about your EHCP answered.
Our Customer Service Centre (CSC) is now supporting the SEND Team with enquiries to their duty lines. We have trained our CSC staff to use our new EHCPs online system, meaning they will be able to answer most enquiries straight away, and advise who your named SEND Officer is. The more complex queries will be passed to your SEND officer, and the person you speak to will book a timed slot for them to call you back.
