We are trying to secure an Ehcp as my son is due to start secondary school next year but we have been declined twice. 

They admit he has SEN needs but doesn’t need an assessment ?

Hello @savfam
Welcome to scope 
I can totally understand how you feel.
You have enough on your plate but because of difficulties you or a loved one experience things that others can take for granted can seem like one battle after another at times, to get the help you need.
Good luck with everything!
There are always friendly and helpful peeps on here to advise or just have a chat with.

Welcome to the community from me too @savfam I can imagine that's exhausting! Regarding the EHCP, have you contacted IPSEA or your local SENDIASS? The National Autistic Society also have some useful information and advice on EHCPs, which you may find helpful. 

Some colleagues at Scope also have an opportunity relating to EHCPs at the moment, which you might like to take a look at.
