Hi, my name is sdyates!

hi there I have been diagnosed through complex needs as having Bpd and awaiting treatment which is likely to be next Easter. I really want to do a part time college course but unsure how to claim a or whether I would be entitled to an EHCP?

I've moved your post into the Education and Learning category so that you're more likely to get some targeted advice.
This article on the Child Law Advice Website has some useful information about what an EHCP is, and what is counted under the title of Special Educational Needs, just in case you need it.
I'm sure someone else will know more about the subject, but I imagine your best bet would be to speak a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo). Are you currently in education?

Well done you for wanting to do a part-time college course! Don't worry too much about an EHCP as colleges have to provide reasonable adjustments for all disabled students by law, for more information read this Disability Rights UK 'Adjustments for disabled students' webpage.
It might be worth getting in touch with the college you would like to attend, and speaking with their disability support service to see what they could provide to help you.
