Dear [SENCO name],

CC: [Head Teacher name], [School name]

Subject: Urgent Review Request — SEND Provision for [child's name]

Child's full name

I am writing to request an urgent review of the SEND provision for my child, [child's name]. I am concerned that provision outlined in my child's current EHC Plan is not being delivered.

Specific provision that is missing (reference the plan where possible)

Under the Children and Families Act 2014, the school has a legal duty to deliver the provision specified in my child's EHC Plan. Failure to do so is a breach of the plan and of my child's statutory rights.

What you are requesting

I require a written response within 10 school days. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will escalate this matter to the Local Authority SEND team and, if necessary, to the First-tier Tribunal (SEND).

Yours sincerely,
[Your name]
