EHCP Annual Review Feedback
At least once a year there will be a meeting to talk about your child’s progress and his or her EHCP. This is called a review.
At the meeting, we will:
- Check that your child is making progress
- Set targets for the coming year
- Check to see if he or she still needs the same plan or whether it should be changed.
Your child’s school or setting will arrange the meeting.
