Save EHCPs (educational health care plans) Protect Children and teachers.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

More funding for schools and local authorities to deliver EHCPs on time.
Significantly increased training places for Educational Psychologists so children aren’t left waiting years for an assessment.
Stronger accountability, Protection for the legal right to an EHCP.

EHCPs are not just paperwork they are a lifeline For over 560,000 children. Evidence shows that EHCPs work when they are delivered properly and work for everyone in the classroom.
Without EHCPs, there would be no legal guarantee that specialist support will be provided. It’s not EHCPs that are the problem - it’s the system.
