SSIF Seminar, Education and Health Care Needs Assessment (EHCNA)
Southend SEND Independent Forum (SSIF) invite Parent Carers of Children with SEND to their third Seminar this year on Wednesday 26th June.
‘Education and Health Care Needs Assessment (EHCNA)’ is the third in a series of valuable and informative events for Parent Carers that will run throughout the year.
This seminar is aimed at Parent Carers of children with SEND who may need information and support regarding the EHCNA process.
The Seminar will cover questions such as:
- Who can request an Assessment? And how?
- Who decides if an Assessment is needed? And how?
- How are Assessments undertaken?
- After the decision is made?
- SEN Support and the Graduated Response.
- Plus, any additional questions you may have*
We have a panel of professionals from the EHCP Team, SENDIASS, and more to be confirmed nearer the date! They will talk about how they can support you and your child through the processes and meetings.
*We are inviting Parent Carers to submit any questions they have for the panel by Monday 17th June 2024, via email.
There will also be an opportunity for people to participate in a co-production session to develop a useful route map/flow chart of the EHCNA process.
