Recommendation 29
29
Paragraph: 180
Equipping ECEC practitioners with SEND identification skills reduces EHC plan applications and waiting times.
Conclusion
Equipping all ECEC practitioners with the skills to identify and support Special Educational Needs (SEN) would help settings better identify and support children with lower level SEND in-house and reduce the number of applications for diagnosis or additional support through an Education Health and Care (EHC) plan, or a speech and language assessment. This in turn would reduce waiting times for those children who do require an such additional support.
