Most EHCPs fail not because the child doesn’t have needs, but because Section F is too vague
Section F is the most powerful part of an EHCP.
It’s the legal list of support your child must receive not suggestions or “best efforts.”
If it’s vague, your child’s provision can be quietly reduced or ignored.
.
Here’s what to check:
1. Every need in Section B must link to a clear provision in Section F.
Example:
Need: struggles with expressive language.
Provision: “A Speech and Language Therapist will provide weekly 1:1 sessions for 30 minutes focusing on expressive-language goals.”
.
2. Make it specific and measurable.
Avoid “regular,” “as required,” or “access to.”
Use numbers and timeframes: “3 sessions per week,” “daily sensory breaks,” “termly review.”
.
3. Name who delivers it.
Don’t just say “staff support.” Say “Specialist Teaching Assistant trained in PECS communication will deliver the programme daily.”
.
4. Use “will,” not “should” or “may.”
Those small words decide whether the LA is legally bound to deliver the support.
.
5. Check for quantification.
Each provision should show how often, how long, and by whom that’s what makes it enforceable under the SEND Code of Practice 2015 (para 9.69).
.
You can request an amendment if Section F is unclear or appeal the plan.
Never settle for “support as available.” Your child deserves support as required by law.
.
Save this before your annual review and share it with another parent whose Section F is still vague.
