Rulebook · What a local authority letter includes

The date of the letter

The date of the letter. The 15 days for comments begin with the day the proposed amendments are served, and the 8 weeks for the final amended plan count from when they were sent, so a clear date matters. If the letter was sent later than the date on it, those time limits count from the later day.

Not required by law: good practice.

Part of the letter: Proposed amendments to an EHC plan.
