Statutory EHCP timelines
Wandsworth Council is addressing pressures in its Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) services.
In September 2026, Wandsworth Council's Children's Overview and Scrutiny Committee discussed significant challenges in its Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) services, including rising demand and budget overspends. Ian Dodds, Interim Executive Director of Children's Services, presented proposals to safeguard service performance amidst these pressures.
No upcoming meetings are supplied that specifically mention statutory EHCP timelines. The topic concerns the legally mandated timeframes for completing Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), which are a key component of SEND services.
