Recommendation
The Government should increase its support for local authorities to deliver EHCPs and closely monitor both the timeliness and robustness of their decision-making with reference to the 20-week timeline for producing a draft EHCP, as well as the proportion of decisions overturned on appeal. We ask the Government to update the Committee by June 2025 on its progress in improving processes, reducing delays, and minimising SEND Tribunal costs and appeals with regard to EHCPs.
