Lewisham Social Workers should make contact with the education provider to arrange the annual review of the EHC plan before a transfer to a Post 16 institution known as a  “phase transfer”.

The deadline is 31st March 2021 for transfers from secondary school to a Post-16 institution. Therefore, if not already done so, it would be prudent to arrange the Annual Review.

The process is as follows:-

  • Education Provider reviews the plan

*Sends proposed amendments and a copy of the plan to the Foster carer/ Social Worker

  • Foster carer/ Social Worker has at least 15 days to make representations about the proposed amendments/content of the plan and to either request a particular school from the list in section 38(3) Children and Families Act 2014
  • LA issues a final amended plan, with notice of appeal rights, by the statutory deadlines in Regulation 18.
