THE RIGHTS OF THE YOUNG PERSON

This workshop is for parents with young people aged 16+ and 18+ who have a draft EHCP (Education Health and Care Plan) under the new legislation which came into effect in September 2014 and need advice choosing the right placement and may need to appeal the EHC plan.

Participants are invited to bring along any papers relating to their children’s needs, as there will be time for questions and discussion.

Places are limited to a maximum of ten participants because of the interactive nature of the workshop.

During the course of the year, we shall also hold workshops on particular topics in greater detail.
