SEND IASS - Education Health and Care Plans (EHCP) factsheet
Where does the funding come from?
The local authority is responsible for ensuring that the special educational needs set out in the EHCP are met and that the special educational provision is made, whatever their funding arrangements or agreements with other service providers.
All young people with an EHCP and all parents of children with an EHCP can ask for a Personal Budget.
The SEND Code of Practice states that, a personal budget is an amount of money identified by the local authority to deliver provision set out in an EHC plan where the parent or young person is involved in securing that provision. (9.95)
There is more information about personal budgets in the SEND Code of Practice Sections 9.110 to 9.118.
