Applying for post 16 settings with an ECH plan

Find out how to apply for a post 16 place if you have an education, health and care (EHC) plan.

A young person who has an EHC Plan and is due to move on to a Post 16 placement (e.g. College) will be given the opportunity to share their preferences about the Post 16 Placement. To share this information with us it’s important that the preference form is correctly filled in.

It’s a good idea to visit the college or setting on their open days; this gives you an opportunity to meet and talk to the lecturers, look around at the facilities and see what you think. Information about Open Days can be found on the college websites and social media.
