1. Parents can request an EHC needs assessment
You do not need to wait for the school to apply or give permission.

2. £6,000 is often used as a benchmark
It is not a legal requirement, but evidence that your child needs support beyond ordinarily available provision can strengthen your request.

3. Evidence is important
Include professional reports, school records and clear examples of your child’s needs and the support required.

🌟 **Success Story**

Sharing another fantastic outcome achieved this year.

Every case is unique, but every success means a child is one step closer to receiving the support they need.

Congratulations to this family! 💜💚

**❓Can I add everything you ask me to an EHCP?**

Not always—and that's actually part of the process.

My role isn't just to amend your EHCP. It's to help you build the strongest possible case.

If something isn't currently supported by professional evidence, we'll look at:
✔️ Whether the evidence already exists.
✔️ Whether further evidence is needed.
✔️ The best way to strengthen your request.

Sometimes the answer isn't **"no."**

It's **"not yet—let's work out how we can get there together."**

**⚠️ Reality Check**

I can write almost anything into an EHCP...

The real question is:

**Can we prove it?**

That's why I spend far more time looking at the evidence than adding extra words.

EHCP Myth Monday

"I'm the parent, so I know what my child needs."

You're absolutely right—you know your child better than anyone.

But when it comes to changing an EHCP, the Local Authority will usually expect professional evidence explaining why that support is needed.

Your knowledge is essential.

Professional evidence helps make it legally enforceable.

🎥 **I'm thinking of creating a FREE SENDLou YouTube channel...**

The idea would be short, easy-to-understand videos covering things like:

✔ Understanding your EHCP
✔ Annual Reviews
✔ Appeals
✔ Tribunal tips
✔ Evidence explained
✔ Common SEND myths

No jargon. Just practical guidance for parents.

What you see... vs What I see...

What you see
A Draft EHCP.

🔍 What I see
✔ Missing needs
✔ Missing provision
✔ Vague wording
✔ Missing recommendations
✔ Opportunities to strengthen the plan
✔ Whether the evidence actually supports what's being requested

It's not about making the EHCP longer.

It's about making it stronger.

Mediation can be helpful but it doesn't guarantee the outcome you want.

Sometimes further evidence or an appeal is still needed.
