Children and Families Act 2014

Section 38: Preparation of EHC plans: draft plan

223.This section sets out the process that must be undertaken by a local authority when preparing a draft EHC plan. The local authority must consult with the child’s parents or the young person, to ensure they are involved in the planning process from the outset and their views are taken into account. The local authority must send a copy of the draft EHC plan to the child’s parent or the young person and make sure that they are aware of the ways in which they can express their views on the content of the draft EHC plan.

224.The draft EHC plan must not name a specific institution or a type of institution. This is so that parents or young people have the opportunity to request (before the end of the time period which is specified in the notice sent to the parent or young person under subsection (2)(b)) that a particular school, further education college in England or other institution is named in the EHC plan before it is finalised. Parents and young people may request any institution of the types listed in subsection (3). Parents and young people will also be able make representations for an independent school or post-16 independent specialist provider not included in this list as is the case under the current legislative framework (although there will be no corresponding duty on the local authority to name such an institution in the EHC plan or for that institution to be under a duty to admit the child or young person). Local authorities may also specify education otherwise than in a school or post-16 institution in an EHC plan where they consider this to be suitable provision.

225.This section replaces, in England, section 323 of the Education Act 1996.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
