Working with professionals

Education, Health and Care coordinators (EHCCo)

EHCCos are part of the Buckinghamshire SEN Service which also include specialist teachers and educational psychologists.

If you don't know who your EHCCO is, email [email protected]

If you request an EHC needs assessment, send your request to [email protected] This is also the email address for EHC needs assessment enquiries and for sending reports and advice to be used in the EHC needs assessment. An Assessment EHCCo will look after your child or young person’s EHC needs assessment and draft their EHC plan if a plan is necessary.

Once your child or young person has an EHC plan, it will be looked after by an Annual Review EHCCo or a Post 16 Annual Review EHCCo, depending on your child’s age. You should send all paperwork relating to EHC plan annual reviews to [email protected]
