Other EHCP considerations
Last updated:Some other things to consider when it comes to EHCP plans are:
- Young People who are over 14 years old with a learning disability can request to be on the learning disability register at their GP practice. This entitles them to an annual health check and individual health plan.
- Children in Care (CLA) will receive an annual health review as part of their care package.
- Children with a medical need in school should have an Individual Healthcare Plan (IHCP) in school. For example, epilepsy or a serious allergy.
- Children’s Continuing Care will have an annual review of need.
- Children who are inpatients in mental health hospitals should have a dynamic support facilitator. They should have a Care, Education and Treatment review (CETR) as part of that support.
Buckinghamshire Council's Position Statements
The Bucinghamshire Local Area Position statements draw upon a review of the research evidence and represents the views of Education, Health and Social Care providers and commissioners within the Buckinghamshire Local Area.
These statements include:
- Visual Processing Difficulties: Due to the limited evidence base for Behavioural Optometry, we have produced a position statement to advise we will not provide this in Bucksinghamshire.
- Auditory Processing Difficulties: due to limited evidence base for Listening Programmes.
- Sensory Processing Needs: limited evidence of effectiveness of Sensory Integration Therapy
- Remote service delivery of Health Services
