answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2021 answer text <p>We are working with the Department for Education and NHS England and NHS Improvement to improve the provision of health and care services for disabled children. Children with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) who require additional provision will receive an Education Health and Care (EHC) plan assessment. The SEND Regulations 2014 make clear that local authorities must complete an EHC plan assessment within twenty weeks after the request is received unless exceptional circumstances apply. The Department for Education monitors local authority performance on EHC plan assessments to establish where there are long-standing delays and provide support. This could include training for staff, extra monitoring or engagement with partners to improve joint working.</p> answering member constituency Chichester answering member printed Gillian Keegan question first answered 18/10/2021 09:11:22 answering member 4680 label Biography information for Gillian Keegan
