Hi,
I would say no because they are only on a waiting list. I would expect them to need a review of their EHCP when they move schools.
When my daughter moved to a specialist college she needed a review.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -

I can only tell you my experiences with my daughter. When she changed colleges her review was earlier than the planned yearly one but when she moved it was the start of the new September term and her college wasn't named on her EHCP, which was why the review was needed.Yes, it is possible that the needs of your child may not be met when they change schools. I wish my daughter hadn't moved colleges because her needs certainly weren't met and then Covid hit us. She's now left full time education.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

She's almost 21 and decided that she no longer wanted to continue with education. During most of the pandemic up until she left there was very little college time. I think she got to the stage where she was fed up in general and her anxiety was through the roof at the time.Unfortunately, her health condition means she's unable to work but she does claim benefits, which do help a little.Good luck with the new school if your child gets a place and i hope there's support in place for them when they do start.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

Hi @MrsMwa
Thanks for your question.
In an EHCP, you only name a school if it is the school that you believe will best fit their needs.
This is typically so your preferred school can be considered if it is outside of your geographical parameters.
