The review must:
- look at the progress made towards achieving the outcomes in the EHC plan
- consider if the outcomes are still appropriate and agree new ones if needed
- be in partnership with you and your child. The review must consider your views, wishes and feelings, including your right to request a Personal Budget
- focus on preparing for adulthood from year 9 at the latest. This includes:
- employment
- independent living
- participation in society
- good health
This can include planning for young people to move to adult care and health services, where relevant.
The review should:
- gather and assess information
- review the special educational support
- review the health and social care support
- consider whether the EHC plan needs updating. The changes could be made to:
- outcomes
- support
- the educational setting
- whether the EHC plan should be stopped
- review the short-term outcomes (sometimes called targets)
- set new short-term outcomes for the coming year
