If your child or young person has Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) that are currently being met at SEND Support level without the need for an Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP)

We recommend you to collect as much information as possible about your child or young person’s needs and the SEND Support level provision that is working well for your them. This is so you can share that information with your child or young person’s new school.

If either of the following is relevant to your child or young person:

• Educational, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessment started but no EHCP
• Educational, Health and Care plan (EHCP) already in place

Preferably with at least 15 days notice, you must let your current local authority, including their SEN team, know:

• your new address, and
• the date that you will be moving

This is because your current Local Authority must transfer the EHC needs assessment advice and the Educational, Health and Care plan (EHCP) to the new local authority. If you have not given notice, the 15 days starts from the day you inform them of the move.
