Health - spotlight on the 'H' in EHCP, Carrie Grant

Available for over a year

An in depth look at the 'H' in EHCPs. That is the health part of Education Health and Care Plans, as they stand now. We hear from mum Becci, about what her day looks like before she even gets her child out of the front door, and what happens to meet his medical needs in school. We have news about a new parliamentary session which will be looking into exactly this, and we will be talking about a separate inquiry by MPs into the mental health of children and young people. SEND parent and broadcaster Carrie Grant joins us, along with education reporter Kate McGough, and Jen Craft, Labour MP and member of the Health Select Committee. In the spotlight this week is 5 year old Sanchéz, whose love of trains led to an exciting opportunity with Transport for London. Please note, this episode was recorded before the Schools White Paper and SEND reforms in England were published.
