Step 5– Education Health Care Plan If the external agencies (alongside school) do not manage to significantly impact upon the child’s progress and it becomes clear the need will be long term, the school or parents will apply for an Education Health Care Plan. This used to be known as a Statement. The Local Authority (LA) will usually make a plan if it decides that despite all of the special help, the child needs cannot be fully met from within the school’s existing resources. These resources could include money, staff time or special equipment.
