FAQs
I have an EHCP, what do I do?
It is important that if you have an Education, Health and Care Plan, that you tell us when you apply so so that we can work closely with your Local Authority to ensure that you have an effective transition to college and our offer of a place at CRC is conditional on the consultation being complete and approved.
This will ensure that we put in place the most appropriate support to ensure that you are successful at College.
Contact:
For EHCP recipients, it is a statutory requirement that your Local Authority forwards a copy of your EHCP to the college for assessment. We work closely with all Local Authorities. It would help speed up your application if you have informed your school where you think you will be starting your education in September. A good opportunity to this will be at your Annual EHCP Review, or by informing your Local Authority by email. For Cambridgeshire Local Authority, please contact them via this email address , informing them your name, date of birth and that you are applying to Cambridge Regional College.
