Family Reviews
We follow a ‘Person Centred Review’ approach. This type of review covers all the statutory requirements your Local Authority expect from us when reviewing your child’s EHCP.
A Person-Centred Review focuses on, what people like and admire about your child, what’s important to them and how best to support them. We will look at what’s working well in their life and what might not be working as well and planning for the future etc.
