Information and resources for SEND professionals
The professionals area is where we put information, links and resources for the people working in the services involved in our Local Offer.
EHC Plans
An education, health and care (EHC) plan is for children and young people aged up to 25 who need more support than is available through special educational needs support.
EHC plans identify educational, health and social needs and set out the additional support to meet those needs.
Health professionals are under a statutory duty to support the EHCP process and this includes involvement in annual reviews.
Read the schools guide on involving professionals in EHCP Annual Reviews.
Read the guidance for educational settings on involving professionals in EHCP Annual Reviews.
EHC Hub
The Education, Health and Care (EHC) Hub is an online case management system which manages requests for EHC plans and the annual reviews of these plans.
To log in go to EHC Hub. For more information go to about the EHC Hub.
Capturing the Voice of the Child
Effectively capturing the voice of the child benefits everyone and is the law.
Participation develops children and young people’s ownership of learning and helps improve motivation, level of engagement, resilience and self-esteem.
Visit our page on capturing the voice of the child.
Understand your role and responsibilities, learn how to have effective discussions and communicate with non-verbal strategies, and become familiar with the outcomes and benefits of doing this.

Humber, Coast and Vale Keyworker Service
The new Keyworker service is being developed as a response to the NHS England long term plan commitment that by 2023/24 children and young people with a learning disability, autism, or both, with the most complex needs will have a designated Keyworker.
The Keyworking function is an important response to ensuring children, young people and families get the right support at the right time, and that local systems are responsive to meeting their needs in a holistic and joined up way.
