Moving to the London Borough of Ealing with a child who has an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan

If you are moving to Ealing with a child who has an Education, Health and Care (EHC) you should inform your child or young person’s current Local Authority SEN department of your move.  You must also speak with Ealing’s SEN Business Support Team:


Once you have moved to Ealing your child's EHC plan  (along with all other documents relevant to your child's special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), such as current provision map will be transferred from your current Local Education Authority to Ealing.  Ealing will then become responsible for making sure your child receives the support outlined in the EHC and will have six weeks to decide whether to review the EHC and/or make any adjustments.

Finding the right school

By moving to Ealing, the school named in your child's EHC/SSEN might now be too far away for them to continue to attendance. In this case, Ealing will need to name an appropriate new school to meet your child's needs. During this decision-making process, you may be asked to place your child in a school of Ealing's choice temporarily, to allow enough time for you to visit other schools and discuss options. The SEN Assessment Service  will always consult with you over changes to your child's or young persons EHC Plan.

If your child has special educational needs and/or disabilities but no EHC Plan, you should contact Ealing's school admissions team to apply for a place.
