The requirements for special educational needs in these countries are all slightly different from arrangements in England. Torbay will apply the same principles to ensure your child or young person’s Special Education Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) continue to be met.  If your child or young person is moving with a Statement of SEN from Wales or Northern Ireland or with a Co-ordinated Support Plan from Scotland we will either:

• look to convert that to an Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP) at the next planned review
• Or complete a new EHC needs assessment, regardless of when the previous assessment took place
