EHC letter help for teen in college

[QuickFetchTheCoffee]

DD is 16 and is now doing Level 2 Computing in a mainstream college (after leaving her Level 3 BTEC due to social anxiety and inability to do three Level 3 coursework).

Her new tutor (but not not the Inclusions team, annoyingly) agrees with me that she desperately needs an EHCP, and so I've started to amend the IPSEA template letter.

I've got to the bit where it's asking you to add evidence that the school may not be able to provide the support she needs or of their own resources...but I honestly don't know what support would help or could be available so what should I write?

She's still struggling to complete the coursework and is having to do some (quite a lot) at home which I'm then spending a lot of time motivating, reminding, helping research stuff, mind mapping, helping to word things etc. Also just "being there" while she works.
She also isn't managing to do her physiotherapy (which wasn't really improving her low muscle tone/hypermobile joints anyway) because she's exhausted and stressed when she gets home.

Do you have it in writing from the tutor? If not, try to get it in writing. Do you have communication about the circumstances around switching from the previous course? You can try submitting a SAR to gather further evidence from the college. Evidence from physio? Any input from GP, OT, SALT or MH professionals?

You don’t need to know for definite what support is required. For the second part of the test, you only have to show DC may need SEN provision to be made via an EHCP.

@BlueBrick thank you for answering me. I have no communication from the college, I call them and they say they're going to do something then just don't get back to me (extending her hours to full time for example).
I have no recent communication from anyone else either, she's never been to SALT.
I can absolutely manage to show DD needs SEND provision to be made via an EHCP but I can't prove it. Also what is a SAR?* *

A SAR is a subject access request. Submit a SAR request to the college (and if DD is Y12, her previous school).

Start putting things in emails. Follow up all verbal conversations with emails so you have a paper trail. Email the tutor to summarise the conversation where they said in their view an EHCP is required.

Do you not have any paperwork from swapping courses and the need to do that? If DD isn’t attending full time, do you not have any communication or paperwork about that? At the very least, her attendance record?

Has DD not been to the GP about her social anxiety? Also look at referrals to OT and physio.

This sounds very similar to the experiences we had with our daughters college in Farnborough Hampshire

Ditto!
