EHCP Draft Review
Most draft EHCPs contain vague wording, missing provision, or descriptions of need that don't match the evidence. You typically have just 15 working days to respond before it's finalised — and once it is, changing it is far harder.
Two Levels of Support
Your written review comes back within 48 hours, with specific wording to request and the reasoning behind every recommendation, ready to send to the Local Authority inside your response window.
Full Section Review — £495
Detailed written review of all three sections — needs, provision and placement — with amendment recommendations throughout.
Best if: you know something isn't right but can't pinpoint exactly what.
Full Review with Model EHCP — £695
Everything in the Full Review, plus a professionally rewritten model EHCP showing exactly what the plan should say. Gives you a clear comparison to put to the LA, and a document you can use at tribunal if needed.
Best if: you want the strongest possible evidence base, or expect this to be contested.
Second-round review — £195
If the Local Authority responds with an amended plan, I'll review what's changed, tell you what they've conceded, what's still missing — and what to say next.
Who This is For
This service is for parents in any of the following situations:
You've just received a draft EHCP and aren't sure whether it's good enough before you respond
You're going through an annual review and want the updated plan checked before it's finalised
You feel the plan doesn't match the professional reports and evidence you submitted
The wording feels vague or generic, and you're not sure what "good" provision is actually supposed to look like

“I can’t recommend John-Paul’s services highly enough. Having someone take the mental load off when it comes to EHCP reviews has been invaluable, and it’s something we only wish we’d done sooner. John-Paul’s knowledge, efficiency, and support made the whole process so much easier and far less stressful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services to anyone navigating the EHCP process.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most reviews are completed within 5-7 working days of receiving your draft, so you're not left waiting close to your deadline.
-
No — even close to the deadline, a review can still strengthen your response or flag whether to request an extension. Get in touch and I'll tell you honestly whether there's time to act.
-
A review can't force a change, but it gives you specific, evidence-based wording to challenge the plan with — which is far stronger than a general objection, and is often what tips a plan toward being amended without needing to go to tribunal.
-
Yes I can, please ask when making the enquiry as price is in addition to the review service and dependent upon the complexity and situation.
-
If your review shows this is heading toward a dispute, I'll tell you plainly and can support you through [SEND Tribunal Support] as a next step.
