EHCP Support

Clear, independent support for Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs)

Navigating the EHCP process can feel overwhelming, particularly when decisions are delayed, wording is unclear, or professional recommendations are not properly reflected.

Squared SEND Advocacy & Support provides independent, legally grounded advice and advocacy to help parents and carers understand their rights, challenge unlawful practice, and secure EHCPs that are clear, specific, quantified and enforceable.

Support is available remotely to families across England.

EHC Needs Assessment Requests

Support with making a lawful, evidence-led request for an EHC needs assessment, including:

Identifying and clearly setting out your child or young person’s special educational needs
Linking needs to educational impact
Referencing relevant professional evidence
Ensuring requests meet the legal threshold under the Children and Families Act 2014

EHCP Draft Check and Amendments

A detailed review of draft EHCPs to identify:

Vague, non-specific or unenforceable wording
Missing or inaccurately reflected needs
Provision that is not specified or quantified
Outcomes that are unclear or not measurable

You will receive clear, written recommendations and replacement wording that aligns with the SEND Code of Practice and professional reports.

Professional Report Analysis

Thorough analysis of professional reports to:

Extract needs, provision and outcomes
Identify recommendations that have been omitted or diluted
Check consistency between reports and the draft EHCP
Highlight where provision has not been matched to identified needs

This is particularly helpful where multiple reports are involved or where the local authority has selectively referenced evidence.

Annual Review & Phase Transfer

Advice and written support in relation to:

Annual reviews
Requests for amendments or re-assessments
Phase transfer years
Preparing evidence and written submissions

Support is focused on ensuring lawful process, clear evidence, and forward-planning.
