Dear colleagues,
As you are aware we have seen an exponential increase in the number of children presenting with SEN in Cornwall and a subsequent increase in education, health and care plan needs assessment requests.
Whilst we had built in capacity for an anticipated increase the recent surge in demand has outstripped availability of provision.
We have seen an 18% increase in EHC plans for children in Cornwall in recent years. We currently are supporting over 4000 children and are receiving in excess of 100 EHC needs assessment requests every month.
We are re-working our demand trajectories and will soon be mapping areas where we need to expand provision.
For this reason we would like to make sure we have accurate records of your school’s PAN / capacity and ability / appetite for expansion.
We understand that you are all extremely busy and appreciate you taking the time to complete this.
The closing date for this is Friday 21 July 2023.
