EHC plan templates

On 6 June 2022 Surrey introduced new templates for Education Health and Care (EHC) plans. This was done to make the plans easier to understand more visual.

The biggest change to the EHC plan paperwork is that in the year a child turns 14, their plan will move to a 'Preparing for Adulthood' or PFA format. This will mean that we can focus the outcomes on support that will enable them to become as independent as possible in their adult lives.

Practitioners can download the new template EHC plan below:

• EHC plan template for children aged under-14-years-old
• EHC plan template for young people aged 14-years-old and above

Applying for an EHC needs assessment?

If you are practitioner working with a child or young person in Surrey who you believe requires an EHC plan, with parental consent you can request an EHC needs assessment through the Learner's Single Point of Contact (L-SPA).

Parents and carers can find out more about EHC plans and EHC needs assessment process on our EHC parents and carers pages.
