college and secondary school

ABOUT ISSUES IN SCHOOLS

GENERALLY

However the Children and

Families Act 2014 passed in

March that came into force

from this September simplifies

the system and replacesStatements of Special

Educational Needs with a

single assessment process and

an Education, Health and Care

Plan (ECP).

The act also provides

statutory protection for young

people who are in education or

training up to the age of 25

instead of ending at 16. It

places a requirement on healthservices and local authorities

to jointly commission and plan

services for children, young

people and families.
