EHC plans – temporary legislative changes
section_content: Coronavirus (COVID-19) may make it more difficult for a local authority or
health commissioning body to secure or arrange all the elements of the
specified special educational and health provision in an EHC plan as required
by section 42 of the Children and Families Act 2014. Due to the unprecedented
circumstances presented by coronavirus (COVID-19), the section 42 duty has
been temporarily modified, so that local authorities and health commissioning
bodies can discharge this duty by using their ‘reasonable endeavours’. We have
published detailed guidance on these temporary legislative
changes.
The duty on education settings – including colleges and other providers – to
co-operate with the local authority in the performance of its SEND duties
remains in place. Close working and communication between all parties is a
central element in ensuring that young people do receive appropriate
provision.
[EHC]: education, health and care

Does school or college provision have to be delivered as it usually is for children and young people with EHC plans?
section_content: Due to the unprecedented circumstances presented by coronavirus, the section
42 Children and Families Act 2014 duty to secure the provision within an EHC
plan has been temporarily modified so that local authorities and health
commissioning bodies must use their ‘reasonable endeavors’ to discharge this
duty. This means that local authorities and health bodies must consider what
they need to provide for each individual child or young person with an EHC
plan during the period that the modified section 42 duty is in force. For some
children and young people, the provision specified in their plan will continue
to be delivered, but for others, the provision may need temporarily to be
different to that which is set out in their EHC plan.
More information is available in the guidance on changes to the law on
education, health and care needs assessments and plans due to
coronavirus.
As per the actions for education and childcare settings to prepare for wider
opening from 1 June 2020
guidance, no school will be penalised if it is unable to offer a
broad and balanced curriculum to its pupils during this period.

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.
