page_title: Guidance Supporting vulnerable children and young people during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak - actions for educational providers and other partners
section_headers: Attendance of vulnerable children and young people
Additional considerations for vulnerable children and young people not attending their regular setting
section_content: For children and young people with an EHC plan, the original institution
should do whatever they reasonably can to provide the receiving institution
with any relevant information. As a minimum, this would include their EHC plan
and essential health and care needs. This should ideally happen before a child
or young person arrives or, where that is not possible, as soon as reasonably
practicable. The educational setting should seek consent to this disclosure
from the child or young person, or where the child does not have sufficient
age or understanding to allow him or her to consent, the child’s parent/carer
may give consent on the child’s behalf. If it is not possible to obtain
consent, the information should still be disclosed as the disclosure will be
in the interests of the child or young person. It is important that teachers
or other educational professionals working closely with the child or young
person have full knowledge of the child or young person’s EHC plan.
For children and young people who have a social worker, additional
safeguarding information would be required. See safeguarding in schools,
colleges and other
providers for further details.
While educational settings must continue to have appropriate regard to data
protection and General Data Protection Regulations, they do not prevent the
sharing of information for the purposes of keeping children and young people
safe. Further advice about information sharing can be found in paragraphs 76
to 83 of the Keeping Children Safe in Education statutory
guidance.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Discusses children with EHC plans but only for what should happen in regards to what happens in schools. Does not bring up special education.
This is a complete and relevant answer. It provides plenty of information on the topic and thoroughly explains the answer. It also provides a link with more info.

Has the responsibility for special educational provision changed?
section_content: Responsibility for commissioning any at-home special educational provision
lies with the local authority responsible for maintaining the EHC plan,
although it may be possible for some of the provision to be provided by the
school or college or even in a home setting. The local authority should work
with the educational setting to ensure that parents and carers are aware of
the education, health and care services available to them at home.
Under the temporarily modified section 42 duty, local authorities and health
commissioning bodies must use their ‘reasonable endeavours’ to discharge the
duty to secure or arrange the provision specified in a child or young person’s
EHC plan. We have published detailed guidance on the changes to the law on
education, health and care needs assessments and
plans due
to coronavirus. It includes some illustrative examples of the type of
arrangements that might be reasonable for local authorities and health
commissioning bodies to put in place.
*[EHC]: education, health and care plan

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Directly addresses how a child with an EHC plan should go about their special education. Gives an additional link to changes in education and the law.
This somewhat pertains to the question. However, it mentions nothing about children and thus doesn't provide a complete answer.

How does this guidance impact children and young people who have an EHC plan and a social worker?
section_content: There are a significant number of children and young people with an EHC plan
and a social worker.
Decisions about whether these children and young people should attend or
return to an educational setting should be made collaboratively on an
individual basis. Local authorities and educational settings should work with
parents or carers, the child or young person and social workers to undertake
or update a risk assessment to determine where the child or young person’s
needs and best interests can be best met.
*[EHC]: education, health and care plan

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Only addresses that children with an EHC plan will have to make arrangements. Does not go in-depth and instructs people to consult local authorities
This is a relevant answer. However, it doesn't provide much information and lacks any source or link to a more complete answer.
