There are some great resources available on the Contact website about EHC Plans that might be useful to some of you.
From who needs an EHCP, what happens during an assessment, how to go about asking for an assessment and what an EHCP looks like, there is a lot of information available.
An EHC plan is a legal document that describes a child or young person's special educational, health and social care needs. It explains the extra help that will be given to meet those needs and how that help will support the child or young person to achieve what they want to in their life. The plan is drawn up by the local authority after an EHC needs assessment.
An EHC plan can be issued to a child or young person between the ages of 0 and 25 years.

Hi
The draft EHCP will be sent to the SEND panel between weeks 13-16 of the process. They will then decide as to whether they will issue an EHCP or not and will write to let you by by week 16.
If one is issued the final EHCP should be issued by week 20 of the process.Hope this helps,

if the school isn't helping with a echp are you able to apply your self basically the schools senco report proves my child need more support then what she's getting but to even get her in to a more suitable school I will need the echp first the school have said to me there is no more they can do until she is granted a diagnosis don't ask me what it even is they are doing right now because all I get is we are helping her and she trying her best though she is working at targets of a 30 month old when she's actually 62 months0
