EHCNA Evidence Checklist

EHCNA Evidence Checklist

Bring together the evidence you need for an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment request in one organised place.

Preparing an EHC needs assessment request can involve gathering information from several different people, documents and systems. The EHCNA Evidence Checklist helps you keep track of what evidence you have, what is still missing and who is responsible for providing it.

The editable checklist includes space to record key pupil details, link directly to an evidence folder and monitor progress as supporting information is collected.

It prompts you to consider evidence such as:

• examples of the pupil’s work
• aided and unaided work
• the history of SEN Support through the Assess, Plan, Do, Review cycle
• notes from relevant review meetings
• attainment information
• relevant standardised assessments
• pupil views
• parent or carer views
• attendance information where relevant
• 
  

Each item can be assigned to a member of staff, given a progress status and accompanied by notes or links, helping you keep everything together rather than chasing evidence at the last minute.

The resource also includes a Start Here page with guidance on how to use and adapt the checklist.

Ideal for: SENCOs, deputy SENCOs and inclusion leads preparing evidence for an EHC needs assessment request.

This is an organisational tool and should be used alongside your local authority’s current application process, statutory guidance and your school’s own procedures.
