Is there a legal requirement for a LA to secure full time education for a 19 year old in a college setting?
We are appealing a placement in Section I of the EHCP. The requested new college offers a 5 day provision while the current (named) college is only 3 days. At mediation I would like to explain that we are seeking health and social care support to extend the current provision to 5 days. Is there any legal requirement or legislation for the LA to provide or secure full-time education / training for a 19 year old in a college setting. I would like to use this to support our case when providing a cost comparison against the 2 settings.
