Introduce fines for local authorities that breach obligations for EHCPs

Petition Details

We believe Local Authority's need further incentive (sanctions) to adhere to timeframes and to ensure schools are implementing EHCPs fully. There is not enough recourse for parents seeking help for their SEND children when met with delays, avoidance and deficits in interpretation of documents.

Additional Information

Although there are statutory time frames for the EHCP process these are not always met and non-compliance can lead to further stress and trauma for children and their families.

After the exhausting process and eventually receiving the final EHCP these are not always fully implemented.

We want the Government to introduce fines for local authorities that fail to complete an EHCP within 20 weeks, or fail to deliver an EHCP in full.
