This area covers how authorities evaluate a child’s or young person’s educational needs when a formal plan for additional support may be required. In England, statutory assessment is the process used to decide what special educational provision, if any, is needed and to determine whether an Education, Health and Care Plan should be issued. A solicitor assists parents by gathering medical and educational evidence, coordinating reports from professionals, liaising with the local authority and, if necessary, representing the family in disputes or appeals related to an EHCP.
A statutory assessment can set out long‑term support and funding for education; delays or errors can affect the certainty, scope and timescale of an EHCP. A solicitor helps protect the family’s position by ensuring deadlines are met, evidence is complete and correctly presented, and rights to appeal or review are explained and available.
