EHCP data
Received: 5 January 2026
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I am requesting aggregate, anonymised information only; I am not seeking copies of EHCPs or any personal data.Please provide the following for each of the last three full financial years (or longest period available):1. Number of EHCPs with activity-based provisionThe number of EHCPs maintained by the authority where special educational provision includes any specified activity-based provision, such as provision that is defined in terms of a specific non-standard educational or training activity rather than only generic educational support.This could include: animal-assisted activities, outdoor/adventure activities, sport-based programmes, arts-based provision, or other named activity-based provision.If your IT systems use coded categories for types of provision, please base the response on those categories and include the code list. 2. Expenditure on activity-based provisionThe total gross expenditure incurred by the authority in funding the activity-based provision described above.If this information is held in financial systems rather than linked directly to plans, please provide totals from those financial categories which best correspond to the above provision.3. Equine-specific provisionFor equine-related provision (for example, 'equine therapy', 'equine-assisted learning', "riding therapy", or similar horse-riding terms), please provide:a) The number of EHCPs where such equine-related activity is specified, by year.b) The total gross expenditure on this equine-related provision in each year.If any part of this request would exceed the appropriate cost limit, please advise how it might be refined. I would be grateful for confirmation of receipt and a response within the statutory timeframe.
