An Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessment (EHCNA) is a statutory assessment is a process where information is collected from the parents, child or young person and professionals. This then allows us to gain a clear picture of the education, health and care needs of the child or young person. Depending upon the level of needs and provision required identified through the EHCNA this may result in an Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP) being issued for a child or young person.
