Health services are responsible for delivering the healthcare provision specified in your education, health and care (EHC) plan, including any therapeutic services, such as speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, or mental health services.
Health services are involved in transition planning for young people with EHC plans. They’ll be involved in your EHC plan’s annual reviews as you move towards adulthood, to make sure there’s a clear plan for how your healthcare needs will be met by adult health services.
It’s also important to begin learning how to look after your own physical and mental health as you grow up. We want you to become as independent as possible, and that includes managing your own health and care needs where you can. Our health support for young people with SEND guide and the Health for Teens website both contain advice that may help you.
