  • If we register our child through the standard secondary school admission process, will their EHCP automatically cease?

    Our adopted, Year 6, daughter has an EHCP with VI as the main need. We chose a secondary school for her with a specialist VI unit, in a different county. They can definitely meet needs but have yet to agree to the placement. If we went through the standard admissions, she would be given a place in our chosen school as she is a previously looked-after child. But we have been told by our Local Authority that if we do that, the EHCP will cease. Is that correct, would that be a legal move?

  • Can the LA change the funding without informing me?

    There is a note on my child EHCP about the funding band that the school receives. After the last annual review, it was increased to M5.
    But when the plan was reissued to include the secondary school they will attend in September, the funding code is back down to M4.
    Nobody mentioned this to us, and we don't know what the secondary school has seen in terms of budget available to support her.
    We have asked the coordinator if it was an error and they have been investigating for 5 weeks now.

    It would be useful to know where we stand - is the LA allowed to reduce the funding without the plan changing otherwise?
