“Question 1: As of 15 February 2023, how many children in your local authority had an Education
Health Care Plan?
Question 2: How many children with special educational needs in your local authority area required
an Education Health Care Plan for transitioning from primary to secondary school in September 2023?

the 15 February 2023 deadline?”
Section 1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act (2000) requires the Council to inform you whether
it holds information of the description specified in your request. We confirm that the Council does
not hold this information, this falls within the remit of Devon County Council. However, it does have a
