The role of an Education, Health and Care Coordinator

Education, health and care coordinators (EHCCos):

  • draft EHC plans (sometimes called EHCP)
  • advise parents, carers and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) about EHC plans
  • keep parents, carers and young people with SEND informed about their case

Annual Review EHCCOs

Any plans over a year old and have had an annual review will be allocated an annual review EHCCO. They will:

  • maintain the plans
  • issue proposed and final amended plans
  • manage the change of placement requests where necessary
  • cease plans where requested

Assessment EHCCOs

Any pupils under assessment, including those plans that are within the first year of being finalised will now have a designated EHCCO. They will be involved in the assessment stage and plan writing as well as holding that plan for a year.
