Reading’s Criteria for Starting an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment for a Child or Young Person

 Introduction:

These criteria, which are used when considering a request to start an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment, should be seen as a guide as each child/young person has unique strengths and needs, and may not fit into set criteria. Judgements for deciding if an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment should be carried out are considered by the multi-professional Special Educational Needs Panel, who will use their knowledge and experience to form a view based on the evidence presented to them. The final decision lies with Brighter Futures for Children as represented by the Chair of the Special Educational Needs panel.
