When would a sixth-form or college require input from EHP?

Sixth-forms and colleges will have their own unique reasons for requiring input from EHP. Our broad range of services suit all requirements and may be used by sixth-forms or colleges because:

• Specialist support is required
• Multiple professionals are needed
• Current provision needs to be extended or supplemented
• Social, emotional and mental health needs are increasing
• Academic expectations are rising

Our specialist services assist sixth-forms and colleges in fulfilling their duties as set out in the SEND code of practice (2015).
