how do i remove an EHCP

[Mamabear73]

Its useless always has been , we home ed all this does is causes stress and paperwork that means nothing to us... any ideas ??? anybody?

LAs can only lawfully cease to maintain an EHCP if they are no longer responsible for the child or if it is no longer necessary to maintain it.

Have you thought about trying to improve the EHCP so it is helpful and look at EOTAS rather than trying to get the LA to cease to maintain?

Do remember the support you receive is potentially up to age 25. Things may improve (certainly if you can provide this feedback in your yearly review). Even if things are poor now they may be a god-send later for example as you child gets older and you can specify which educational provision you need. I agree with last poster - focus on making LA improve what they give you. Having an EHCP in place streamlines many things that happen in future. From my experience later institutions don't do well at providing unless their is a history. Use the helpful websites (Sunshine support do some great videos and online chats if you don't like lots of reading, there's one on preparing for an EHCP yearly review). Remember content specified in EHCP is a legal requirement to be provided, if this is not being done complain. Most of us have to climb mountains to get even a EHC NA so don't give up of yours out of the frustration of the current situation. IPSEA also have some good step-by-step guides. Good luck.

As OP is EHEing the LA don’t have legal duty to provide the SEP in the EHCP because they will say she is making suitable alternative arrangements.

A minority of LAs will give a PB to those EHEing, but they don’t have to and for most the amount is far less than with EOTAS. In this case the LA becomes responsible for the provision funded via the PB.

I do not need or want anything we just need to be left in peace , the last hell a caused us so much trouble I really do not wish to go through it all again , our lives are so much happier now . Our Echo has not been updated since 2020 and our last La was a nightmare . We really do not want or need this as its never given any support ever.
