Walk into the next review knowing exactly what's missing.
EHCPs and IEPs are written in jargon. Quiet Space translates them, highlights opportunities to strengthen them, and gives you the review questions to bring with you, so you leave every meeting feeling prepared and confident.

What it catches
- Vague outcomes ("will improve communication", by when? measured how?)
- Provision without specifics ("access to OT", how often, for how long?)
- Missing sensory accommodations even though sensory needs are described
- Outdated diagnoses or assessments older than statutory limits
- Targets that aren't SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound)
- Disconnects between what the parent reports and what the document says
EHCP questions parents ask us
What is an EHCP?
An Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is a legal document issued by an English local authority for a child or young person up to age 25 whose special educational needs cannot be met by the support ordinarily available in their setting. It sets out the child's needs, the outcomes they are working towards, and the provision the local authority must arrange.
What is the difference between an EHCP and an IEP?
An EHCP is a statutory plan issued and maintained by the local authority, and the provision in section F is legally enforceable. An IEP (Individual Education Plan) is a school-level planning document. It is useful and practical, but it does not carry the same legal weight.
How do I know if my child's EHCP is strong enough?
Look for specificity. Outcomes should say what will change, by when, and how it will be measured. Provision should state the type of support, who delivers it, how often, and for how long. Quiet Space reads the wording you paste in and flags outcomes and provision that are too vague to hold anyone to.
What questions should I ask at an EHCP annual review?
Ask whether each outcome has actually been met and what the evidence is, whether the provision listed is being delivered in full, whether anything in the plan is out of date, and what needs to change for the year ahead. Quiet Space generates 8 to 12 questions tailored to your child's actual plan.
Does Quiet Space give legal advice about EHCPs?
No. Quiet Space explains the language, highlights gaps and prepares your questions. For appeals, tribunals or formal complaints, speak to a SEND solicitor or an organisation such as IPSEA or SOS!SEN.
