Pathway · For parents

You shouldn't need a law degree to get your child support.

Pathway walks you through the EHCP process step by step — what to gather, what to write, when the council must respond — grounded in the actual law, with every claim cited.

How it works

Seven steps. You always know where you are.

01

Check you qualify

Answer plain-English questions mapped to the legal test in s.36 of the Children and Families Act 2014. Five minutes.

02

Tell your story once

A guided narrative captures your child's needs in your words — reused everywhere so you never repeat yourself.

03

Gather evidence

A checklist tailored to your child's needs, a diary for incidents, and ready-made letters requesting professional reports — citing your rights.

04

Build the application

Your story and evidence become a structured EHC needs assessment request — checked against what councils must consider.

05

Score, then send

A quality check flags weak spots before submission, while they're still fixable.

06

Decode the response

Paste the council's letter. Pathway explains it in plain English and flags anything that doesn't follow the law.

07

Keep the plan strong

Annual reviews, tribunal preparation if it comes to that — the record you built keeps working for your child.

Could your child qualify for an EHCP?

There is no diagnosis requirement and no list of qualifying conditions. If your child's needs can't reasonably be met by what a mainstream school normally provides, you have the right to ask for an assessment — directly, yourself.
