    Can't answer yes or no.:

    Possibly, but it will depend on the individual case. In DM v Cornwall County Council [2022] UKUT 230 #7 the UT considered “in some very general sense that educational provision which is bounded by a school building and the provision and rules that may apply to all pupils in that school may to an extent be assumed and not need to be stated whereas that provision may need to appear more explicitly in a case where the EHCP concerns a child being educated at home and otherwise than in school, but “the degree of specificity that is required for an individual child in their EHCP will always have to depend on the facts of that child’s case”.
