Proportion of children and young people with a statement or Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan placed in: general further education and tertiary colleges/higher education (4757) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the total number of children and young people (aged 0-25) with a statement of Special Educational Needs (SEN) or an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan placed in a 'general further education and tertiary colleges/higher education'. This is expressed as a percentage of total children and young people for whom the authority maintains a statement of SEN, or EHC plan. Figures taken on January school census date.
EHC plans were introduced from September 2014 as part of a range of SEND reforms. A pupil has a statement of SEN or an EHC plan when a local authority issues one following a formal assessment. This document sets out the child's needs and the extra help they should receive.
General FE and tertiary colleges/HE includes General Further Education & tertiary colleges, special colleges (agriculture, horticulture, art & design and performing arts) and specialist designated colleges. Further Education courses studied in Higher Education institutions are also included in this figure.
The method for collecting data on establishments has changed from previous years. Previously, local authorities provided data on the number of EHC plans where the child or young person was attending through a set list of establishment types. From 2023, information on the specific establishment has been recorded, with either the Unique Reference Number (URN), UK Provider Reference Number or where neither are applicable, a specific category recorded. As a result of this change, caution should be taken when comparing across years by establishment types.
From 2023, the data collection changed from aggregated figures at local authority level, to a person level collection. This has been a major change in approach and as such care should be taken with comparisons across this period.
