Monitor and impose penalties on Local Authorities which issue unlawful EHCPs
For decades local councils have been issuing statements/EHCPs which are neither specified or quantified. Councils know the law which surrounds the way that these legal documents are written & yet a large majority of appeals to tribunal made by parents are because they have failed to do this.
Children who require help in school over & above what a school can provide are issued with legal documents called EHCPs. There is law surrounding the way that these documents are written & what they should include. In one section clear & specific wording is supposed to be used so that there can be no ambiguity about what a child needs. LA's are wasting thousands of hours of court time/public money by breaking these laws.
