As part of the SPROCKET development phase, we held interviews with various education, health and social care providers to understand their experiences working within the system. The results highlighted professional strains and system complexity.
We carried out eleven interviews with various staff including: community paediatricians, early years learning specialists, a special needs teacher, one CEO of two special needs schools, a special needs coordinator, a council worker processing applications and the head of a speech and language/occupational therapy team.
We hope the animation below helps to highlight the complexity of the EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) process and the system in which it functions and provide an insight into the challenges and experiences of professionals within the system.
This animation was produced by CC Animation Studio and funded by The Commonwealth Fund. The workshops with professionals were undertaken as part of the SPROCKET development phase, funded by NIHR.
