An EHCNA is an assessment of your child’s or young person’s (aged 16-25) education, health and social care needs.
- It is a legal process, with several steps which may result in an EHC Plan being issued.
- An EHCNA requires several professional assessments to happen.
- The EHCNA steps and timescales must be followed by law.
- The process starts (the ‘clock starts ticking’) from when the Local Authority receives the EHCNA Request.
