Devon County Council has appointed experts, Peopletoo, an independent organisation with years of experience in helping local authorities across the country to improve the way we work, to review our current EHCP banding framework.
We want to do that with the help of parents and carers of children with EHCPs.
We’re inviting parents and carers to an online workshop next month to help us start the review.
There are two online workshops to choose from:
· Monday 22 September - 10am to 12pm
· Tuesday 23 September - 7pm to 9pm (see seperate Eventbrite event)
In these workshops, we would like to talk about how the current funding system works for children with EHCPs, and where it causes the most challenges for families.
We'd like to identify the priority areas for change, and what matters most to you about how funding decisions are made.
And we'd like to agree a set of guiding principles - clear values and ideas that will shape how we will design a new, fairer system.
This is your chance to help us shape the design of a new framework; one that helps families understand how decisions are made, treats children with similar needs consistently, and gives schools the tools they need to plan the right support.
