FAQs
An education, health and care plan (EHCP) is for children and young people aged up to 25 who need more support than is available through SEN support.
EHCPs identify educational, health and social needs and set out the additional support to meet those needs to secure the best possible outcomes for them across education, health and social care and, as they get older, prepare them for adulthood.
If, following a period of time at SEN Support stage, your child or young person is still not making the expected progress at school, you can ask for an Education, Health and Care needs assessment.
It is always better if the education provider (usually the SENCO) makes the request as they are more able to ensure all the required information and evidence is contained within the request. However, parents and young people (over 16’s) are also able to make requests themselves directly to the Local Authority.
Forms can be found on the Local Authority website.
Places on the Post 16 course are commissioned by the Local Authority SEN 0-25 team. You will need to discuss a Post 16 placement at Eat that Frog with the SENCO at the Year 11 Annual Review or contact your Local Authority SEN 0-25 team or caseworker directly. Please call us at Eat That Frog for more information.

Operation Encompass
Eat That Frog CIC is part of Operation Encompass.
Operation Encompass is a national police and education early intervention safeguarding partnership which supports children who experience Domestic Abuse.
Operation Encompass is in place in every police force in England and Wales, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar.
Children were recognised as victims of domestic abuse in their own right in the 2021 Domestic Abuse Act.
Operation Encompass means that the police will share information with Eat That Frog CIC about all police attended Domestic Abuse incidents which involve any of our children PRIOR to the start of the next school day. The notification informs us about the context of the incident and includes the Voice of the Child.
