Should I take a formal route now?

The intention to update the EHCP was some 12 weeks ago. I sent the draft 2 weeks ago. There is a a offer from the current school (preferred). This is the private school ,it looks like the LA is delaying to find a LA alternative. See email below from my case worker. This is the first time I have heard of a "naming EHCP".


"Thank you for your email.

Sorry for the delay in issuing the final – I was hoping to have confirmed placement stating continuation at <CURRENT SETTING> for September 2025 in relation to Key Stage Transfer as this would mean there would be no need to generate an additional ‘naming’ EHCP for September 2025.

Confirmation has not yet been received but will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

I can issue a final now as well as another one in a few weeks or are you happy for me to hold off issuing until continuation confirmed?

I look forward to hearing from you."
