ALT A graphic with a dark blue background. On the left, there is a light grey circle containing the text 'Myth - Young people with an EHC plan are only entitled to 16 hours of special educational provision per week once they are over compulsory school age, in line with national entitlements for others of the same age.' On the right, there is a white circle containing the text 'Fact - There is no legal basis for local authorities to limit the hours of education for a young person with an EHC plan in this way. The local authority must specify the special educational provision the young person requires, which may include education and training over 5 days per week.'

Member logos at the bottom. Text reads: "Response from Chief Executives of the Lead DCP organisations to the ISOS report on Special Educational Needs and Disability – 25th July 2024 Taking away families’ legal rights would only risk more children and their families being failed, because these rights are an essential safeguard when nothing else has worked. What Government should do is give schools the right skills and enough money to be able to support the 1.7 million children in England with special educational needs. Until they do that, thousands of children will fail to learn and many will be unable to go to school at all."
