The department publishes annual statistics from school census data on children who have education, health and care (EHC) plans down to individual school level. The most recent figures for January 2024 can be found here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/special-educational-needs-in-england.

In January 2024, there were 1,103 (7.1%) children with an EHC plan in Knowsley constituency. This data was published before the changes to parliamentary boundaries and will be updated to the latest boundaries with the next publication of the series.
