Education EHC - COP guide for parents

This guide describes how the new system that supports children and young people with
SEN or disabilities, and parents, is intended to work.

The new system starts from 1 September 2014. But local authorities (see Glossary) will
need some time to move children and young people who were in the old system on to the
new system. At the back of this guide, there is an Annex that explains what the rules are
that local authorities will have to apply when changing to the new system.
