An online guide for local authorities providing advice on what they need to do to maintain EHC (education, health and care) plans for 19- to 25-year-olds with special educational needs and disability (SEND). Although young people with SEND are not automatically entitled to maintain their EHC plans after they turn 19, some may need more support to complete their education and training and successfully transition to adulthood. The guide provides advice on how to support 19- to 25-year-olds to meeting their educational and training needs, such as a finding supported internship, access further education; access to funding for those with no EHC plan; supporting a young person’s health and social care; and including young people in decision making.
