If the date passes

The review still has to be carried out properly. A late step does not end the plan or cancel the review, and the plan stays in force.

Steps people often take:

• Ask the school or college (or the council, if it is running the review) when the step will happen.
• If the meeting cannot go ahead with the information needed, ask for it to be rearranged.
• Raise it with the council's SEN team, which is responsible for the review.

Your own deadlines do not change because the council is late.
