Special Educational Needs: Edmonton and Winchmore Hill
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many children are on the SEND waiting list in Edmonton and Winchmore Hill constituency.
Answered by Catherine McKinnell
The department does not hold information on the number of children waiting to be assessed for an education, health and care (EHC) plan.
The department collects information from local authorities on the number of requests for an EHC needs assessment, the number of EHC needs assessments carried out, and the number of EHC plans issued within the statutory 20-week timeframe. This data is published annually in the statistical release ‘Education, health and care plans’. The release can be accessed here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/education-health-and-care-plans/2024.
