Parent Drop-In: Altering EHCPs (Reviews, Changes & Next Steps)

Understand EHCP reviews, changes, and what to expect, plus how to navigate the process with confidence.

If you're navigating changes to your child’s EHCP, it can feel unclear what happens next and what you're able to influence.

This parent drop-in session is designed to help you better understand how the process works and what to expect when reviewing or updating an EHCP.

We’ll focus on making things clearer, more practical, and easier to navigate.

What we’ll cover

• What happens during an Annual Review
• Understanding the Interim Review process
• How EHCPs can be updated or amended
• What your role is within the process
• How to respond and engage effectively

We’ll also briefly cover:

• How alternative provision can be included
• How support like Gaia can be named within an EHCP
• How provision can be commissioned by schools or Local Authorities

How Gaia supports this process

We’ll share how Gaia Learning works alongside families, schools and Local Authorities by:

• Providing clear, structured reports to support reviews
• Attending meetings where appropriate
• Supporting communication between all parties
• Helping ensure provision reflects the learner’s needs
