Describe any special educational needs which your child or young person may have, which have not yet been fully identified. 

Explain why you think your child or young person may need an EHCP. 

You can argue...

A full EHC Needs Assessment is the only way to find out what difficulties there are and what help is needed.

The education setting may not be able to supply all the educational help needed unless it receives extra help from the LA.

The education setting has provided all the help that could be expected but not enough progress has been made even with all the extra help. 

If, despite the school doing all they can (their ‘best endeavours’ duty) a child young person’s needs are not fully identified, the support being given is not helping them meet the outcomes or make progress then the need for an EHCP cannot be ruled out.
