This workshop is the second in a series of EHCP training events being delivered for DS Achieve by Tracey Allen, Sole Principal at Allen and Co Solicitors.

Tracey has a wealth of experience since qualifying as a solicitor in 2002 and set up Allen and Co Solicitors in 2011. She specialises in education law with expertise in SEND and the EHCP process. Tracey advises parents from various points in their child’s life; from before they have requested or even heard of a statutory assessment, right up to post 16 and further education phase transfers of existing plans. She helps parents prepare for their requests for assessment or reassessment, annual reviews and appeals to the First-tier Tribunal where necessary.

This workshop is aimed at parent carers whose child with SEND already has an EHCP in place.

The training session will cover:

The process of annual review: when it should happen, what should happen and what might happen in reality
Overview of the law: legislation, regs and Code of Practice
Evaluation of ECHP currently in place: what’s working and what’s not
Gathering evidence in preparation for the meeting
Whether a reassessment is necessary rather than simply a review
Transition reviews
What happens after the review
Appeal rights

Delegates are encouraged to submit any specific questions or particular difficulties at the time of booking, in order that the session can be planned to meet the specific needs of those attending.
