Hello,
I have a question, if your child who’s autistic, has emotional, anxiety, sensory and has laxity joint problems plus communication, does his EHCP legal documentation stay the same or can you have it change when you have a annual review has our son has changed and just turned 11 a few days ago, he’s in a primary school and does his EHCP come to us first
help and advise needed

this is our son’s second EHCP, I had a annual review with the current SENCO who’s only been in her training for a year she however was a class, and she has been in the primary school for 10 years but she recently told me in a telephone conversation that she has deferred her course?
and to top it all up she has not filled in the EHCP nor the one plan she has so many mistakes that the new specialist teacher and a educational facilitator had to go into school, to tell her that we weren’t happy with the one plan and the EHCP? Has for a start she didn’t have our son there and he never gave a input.so the 1 plan has been recalled again so we can see and put our input has our son has grown up dramatically.
but the SENCO, the headteacher has said the 1-1 support (LSA) is a floater and not our sons LSA.
we feel our views and voice isn’t heard, from the current staff, but when our son Was in yr 4 the year he started they listen received the EHCP and now not bothering, the school aren’t excepting that he has autism with the other needs,but keep on saying he academically bright ? This we know has he’s has high functioning autism.
But our objection is they shout in the class and not addressing his needs, has this is his crucial year 6
We have been told that we can’t just put 1 secondary school and are told by the EF to look for another school, that we are after Christmas.
hope somebody could help us.
has the one plan has just been copied and paced by the previous SENCO notes..
off to bed now
our son was diagnosed in September 2018.
we changed schools mid term in another borough, he was doing really well has everything was put in place, but he had a few hiccups along the way has in the school where we currently reside (Essex) he was put in a exclusion class with lower level children with different needs, and wasn’t in with his peers for roughly 1 year, however before he got diagnosed we were looking for another school, this is when we came across the current school he’s in which is further away, when he was appointed the EHCP originally in his current school, the school had a autistic specialist teacher working at the school 3 days a week, and the two MDA had been trained to be LSA that worked with our son / 1st one I the morning and the other LSA after lunch, I was dropping him off and the taxi fares were expensive, but eventually we fought to get him the transportation.
From September 3rd he got transportation a mini bus picks him up from our driveway (home) and takes him to school to pick up the other children and on the way back he’s the last drop off. It is taking the driver a hour..
but now the issue we have is the current new SENCO held a meeting with her, the new class teacher, the support worker who’s met to be our sons new LSA but hasn’t received any training, until I complained to Send and then a new specialist teacher and a send facilitator when in and discuss our concerns to the school, and the facilitator had got back to me and said she saw the head and the SENCO and they told her that our son was thriving.
i informed the facilitator that the issue we are having with the school is they school hasn’t throughly looked at his diagnostic but over look firstly he has a disability, has you may not able to see it. For example he’s not in a wheelchair?
but the school doesn’t get him
need advice ??
when you have a annual review for his EHCP do you have to get the child's input and views after all it is there education?
look the other day, our son was unwell he had a COVID-19 home test and went he back to school Thursday gone, he was in his class then taken out and the SENCO, support worker and the school senior receptionist telephoned my partner and said they will not let our son go into the class until we give them proof? Although my GP knows
thank you for all your input
we were due to visit my partners father just before Christmas..but tragically which lost him..

The National Autistic Society have some advice for parents and carers on bereavement and autism, which you might like to read. I've copied and pasted some of the information below:
Your child’s grief will need to be recognised and understood. They will need time and space to express their feelings in a way that works for them.
There is a limited amount of research, information or guidance on how to help autistic children deal with death and bereavement, but it might be helpful to think about:
- talking therapies – your child may find these helpful in dealing with their grief or other emotions, but make sure they are adapted or suitable for autistic people.
Talk to your child and prepare themYou’re likely to be going through a difficult time yourself but if you can put in place some of these supportive techniques, you can make the situation easier for your child.
- Provide as much information as possible about what to expect when attending hospitals, funerals and wakes, including visiting places in advance if this is possible or looking at pictures.
Autistic people have said that they felt they needed more support with the grieving process.There are many types of counselling and therapy including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which has been shown to be effective for some autistic people. All talking therapies should be adapted to be effective for autistic people. If you would like to access therapy for your child, you can do this through your GP or privately.

Hope they help.
this I ask because we were told he is taken in the SENCO’s office or in a quite library etc or they gave him ear defenders?
hope someone could help ?
Regarding the EHCP training, I found the same resources as Poppy when Googling. I did find some videos, which I've linked below:
