What is an EHCP?

An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is a document that supports children and young people with special educational needs in education.

Most mainstream schools, settings, and colleges will be able to meet your child's special educational needs. However, if your child needs more support than the school can provide, they may need an EHCP.

EHCP, EHC, or EHP are abbreviations for Education, Health, and Care Plans.

They were previously known as 'statements' although this term is no longer used, and all statements have now been converted to EHCP.

Who needs an EHCP?

An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is for children and young people who may need additional support in a mainstream school.

An EHCP is also required if the child or young person needs to attend a specialist education provision.

Schools should use the graduated approach to identify the level of need and involve other professionals. The child's needs may be met by other interventions and adjustments via their school.

A 'Team Around Me' (TAM) meeting should form part of the graduated approach to work with parents, professionals, school and specialist support to identify the correct support. It is at these meetings that it will be decided if applying for an EHCP is needed.

This is a FREE conference for young people in Y7 and above with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) to attend with their parent carers or as part of a school visit. It takes place on Tuesday 26th September 2023 at the Guildhall in Plymouth (PL1 2AA). It is an important event for those who want to find out about different next-step pathways and opportunities.

At the conference, you will find lots of exhibitors from service providers who are dedicated to supporting families of young people (aged 12 and above) with SEND. Over 20 exhibitors are looking forward to meeting you all and telling you about what they can offer you and your family. You will have the opportunity to browse and informally chat to service providers.

There are also many talks and workshops for you to attend during the event.

If a young person wishes to attend during school hours, parents can apply to schools to authorise this as an educational activity. Students would not then be marked 'absent' (however, parents must get permission from schools in advance to ensure this is properly registered for their young person).

The ADHD Foundation is the UK's leading neurodiversity charity, offering a strength-based, lifespan service for the 1 in 5 of us who live with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, DCD, Dyscalculia, OCD, Tourette's Syndrome and more.
Integrity of purpose is fundamental to all we do as a user-led organisation.
Mission

To advocate for and actively improve the life chances of those living with and impacted by ADHD, Autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia (DCD), Tourette's syndrome, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and any related physical and psychological health concerns.

To create social change by working in partnership with agencies across all sectors to remove the cultural and systemic inequalities for neurodiverse people in health, education, and employment.

To provide expert, multidisciplinary services in health and education, across the lifespan.

To lead by example, showing that it is possible to run a truly integrated service employing best practice, innovative, value for money services for all business sectors.

Vision

A world that views neurodiversity and 'thinking differently' as a strength, whilst acknowledging and understanding the difficulties associated with lifespan neurodevelopmental conditions.

Values

We take a strength-based approach. We emphasise the intelligence, talents and employability of those with 'different abilities', whilst acknowledging that they can result in disadvantage and exclusion in education, as well as health and economic dependencies.

Working in partnership with all stakeholders, we provide exemplar, innovative and holistic, person centred services and training programmes that enable and empower the neurodiverse community.
We enable public services in the UK and employers, through training and support, to ensure that a neurodiversity paradigm is enshrined in public policy and legislation.

Welcome to our school!

Welcome to all our students and families transitioning to Year 7 at Millbay Academy in September.

We are super excited and looking forward to meeting you. Although times are tricky for schools at the moment, it pushes us to think creatively and overcome the challenges of our transition programme and that important work of preparing for change.

Over the coming weeks, we will be updating this website with video content to introduce you to our team of excellent staff. A couple of things you should know about us and our school.

1. We call each other by our first names. We believe that respect is mutual and it is earnt, not just because we are, “Sir” or “Miss”

2. We are an all-through school. That means we have children here from 3 to 16 years old, all as one community – a learning village!

3. Although you will have many more teachers than you might be used to, you will have a tutor who will get to know you and your family the best. Once these are all lined up, they will be in contact with you to say hello.
