Rulebook · Time limit
Your time to comment on the draft plan and ask for a school or college
You have at least 15 days to comment on the draft, ask for a particular school or college to be named, and ask for a meeting with a council officer. The council can give longer: the notice sent with the draft says the date.
- How it is counted
- At least 15 days beginning with the day the draft was served: that day is day 1, so the last day is day 15. The council can allow longer.
- Whose date it is
- You (the parent or young person)
- What starts it
- The council sent the draft EHC plan
