Review the EHCP process. Timescales are not being met which is distressing.

Summary

The EHCP process has set timescales. Some assessments are currently not meeting the 20 week timescale. We believe in some cases it is taking a year or more. We think children in need are being let down by a broken system. We believe more families may need to go to tribunal causing additional stress. We think the government needs a system that works for children and their parents going through the EHCP process. We think that a 20 week timescale should be met in above 90% of cases. We believe that the Government should review why some local councils are not hitting the deadlines, what needs to change, do further resources need to be allocated, and if the 20 week timescale is realistic considering that this is already a long time for a child with extra needs or a disability to wait. We believe it shouldn’t have to be a fight for parents. Please help our children!
