We're holding our FREE 'What does a good Education health and Care Plan (EHCP) look like?' training workshops in libraries across Worcestershire.

Spaces are still available at Evesham Library this Friday 2 February 10.30am-12.30pm.
Find out more and book your place here: https://tinyurl.com/24495pec

These workshops are aimed at parent carers in Herefordshire and Worcestershire who are currently going through the EHC assessment process or who have a draft EHC plan. It will also be useful to those attending Annual Reviews and looking to update and amend the plan.

The workshops will discuss:
What is an Education Health & Care Plan?
What content should an Education Health & Care Plan have?
How to request amendments to the plan
Annual Reviews
Useful Resources
The sessions will be interactive to enable you to ask questions.
The workshops will be delivered by Sally, our Training & Development Officer.

A positive step towards accessibility we hope. The system has moved on over time. It looks as though reading from a static page and demonstrating understanding via written responses using a pen 🖊️ will be less of a barrier sometime soon(ish!).
