The role of an Education, Health and Care Co-ordinator

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

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.
