No Village EHCP Guidance Book SEN Edition

Understand the EHCP system without having to become an education-law expert overnight.

The No Village Navigation Guide to EHCPs is a practical, plain-English guide for families navigating Education, Health and Care Plans in England.

Across 106 pages, it breaks the EHCP process into manageable stages — from SEN Support and requesting an EHC needs assessment through assessment, draft plans, choosing a setting, annual reviews, refusals, complaints, mediation and SEND Tribunal appeals.

It is designed to help you understand what stage you are at, what should happen next, what questions to ask and what information is worth keeping — without expecting you to hold the whole system in your head at once.

Inside the guide you'll find: clear explanations of the EHCP process and statutory timescales; guidance on requesting an EHC needs assessment; how to understand Sections A–K; practical ways to check whether needs, outcomes and provision connect; guidance on choosing a school or educational setting; annual reviews, amendments, reassessments and phase transfers; what to do after a refusal; delays, missing provision and complaints; mediation and SEND Tribunal appeals; scripts, checklists, question prompts and quick-reference tools; and practical scaffolding for managing the administrative load.

Designed for real life. You do not need to read the guide from beginning to end. Start with the stage that matches the pressure in front of you and return when the next stage begins.

Please note: this guide covers the EHCP system in England. It provides general educational and informational guidance and is not individual legal, medical or professional educational advice. Content has been checked by the author against the current statutory framework and guidance.
