Following the arrival of Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) in September 2014, it is reassuring to know that the myth-creation industry remains alive and well.
Incorrect information such as “you can’t have an EHCP without a social worker”, from a social worker to the parent of a seriously disabled 21-year-old young person. Or “you can’t have an EHCP because he doesn’t need an education”. Others we have heard of include:
An “EHCP is not relevant” if a young person is seeking further education.
“Your child is not far enough behind.”
“You can’t have an EHCP for dyslexia.”
“You must have 21 hours of teaching assistant support before you can have an EHCP.”
