EHC needs assessment related templates

The request was successful.

Dear North East Lincolnshire Council,

The Education Health and Care assessment process involves the local authority (SEN department) asking for and securing advice and information from agencies on the child or young person's needs and what provision may be required to meet those needs and outcomes. Paragraph 9.49 of the SEN Code of Practice explains what advice and information must be sought and who from. Agencies must respond within 6 weeks of the request.

1. Please provide a blank request form template or templates used for requesting advice and information from agencies as part of the EHC assessment process.
2. Please provide a copy of service agreements with agencies. If these cannot be disclosed in whole, I would like to see the information on any recommended phrasing for EHCP assessment reports where requested by the local authority: these may include assessments from educational psychology, social care, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, CAMHS etc. This is not an exhaustive list.

Please contact me if you require any clarification.

Yours faithfully,

A McColl

PPD - FOI, North East Lincolnshire Council

Dear Sir or Madam

 

Thank you for your information request, reference number 10364_1819.

 

I wish to confirm that North East Lincolnshire Council holds the following
information.

 

 

1.    The Education Health and Care assessment process involves the local
authority (SEN department) asking for and securing advice and information
from agencies on the child or young person's needs and what provision may
be required to meet those needs and outcomes. Paragraph 9.49 of the SEN
Code of Practice explains what advice and information must be sought and
who from. Agencies must respond within 6 weeks of the request. Please
provide a blank request form template or templates used for requesting
advice and information from agencies as part of the EHC assessment

Please find attached North East Lincolnshire Local Authority’s blank

2.    Please provide a copy of service agreements with agencies. If these
cannot be disclosed in whole, I would like to see the information on any
recommended phrasing for EHCP assessment reports where requested by the

service level agreements with any agencies and does not provide advice on
any recommended phrasing for EHCP assessment reports.

review process.  If following this you are still dissatisfied you may
contact the Office of the Information Commissioner. If you wish to request
