EHCP Lawyers FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I instruct an EHCP lawyer?
You may benefit from legal help if your local authority refuses an assessment, delays the process, proposes unsuitable support, or fails to follow the correct procedure. Early advice can clarify your rights, identify weaknesses in the evidence, and help resolve issues before formal proceedings become necessary.
Can you challenge an inadequate or unlawful EHCP?
Yes. Our legal team can advise whether the plan properly describes your child’s needs, outcomes and provision. We can help challenge missing or vague support, unsuitable placements, unlawful exclusions of provision, and decisions that do not reflect professional evidence or your child’s circumstances.
What evidence strengthens an EHCP challenge?
Useful evidence may include educational, psychological, medical and therapy reports, school records, correspondence, attendance information and examples of unmet needs. Our team can review the available documents, identify gaps, and explain what further evidence may help support your case and requested provision.
Can you help with annual reviews and EHCP amendments?
Yes. We can advise before or during an annual review, help you respond to proposed amendments, and assess whether changes properly reflect your child’s current needs. If the local authority refuses to amend the plan, we can explain available challenge routes and relevant deadlines.
What deadlines apply to EHCP disagreements and appeals?
Deadlines depend on the decision being challenged and the date on the local authority’s letter. Appeals to the SEND Tribunal commonly involve a two-month time limit, sometimes requiring mediation steps first. Prompt EHCP legal advice helps protect your position and avoid missed deadlines.
Do I need an EHCP solicitor for tribunal proceedings?
Not always, but professional representation can be valuable where evidence is disputed, legal arguments are complex, or the authority is strongly defending its decision. If you are seeking an EHCP solicitor, our lawyers and barristers can advise on suitable representation for your circumstances.
What EHCP legal support is available for delays?
We can advise where a local authority has missed statutory timescales, failed to communicate properly, or delayed arranging an assessment, final plan or provision. Depending on the situation, support may include correspondence, escalation, negotiation, complaint advice or preparation for an appeal.
Can an education law solicitor help secure an EHCP?
Yes. An education law solicitor may assist with requesting an EHC needs assessment, challenging a refusal, preparing supporting evidence and appealing to the SEND Tribunal. Our legal team can assess your child’s circumstances and explain the most appropriate next steps before you proceed.
