The Children and Families Act, 2014 and the new Special Educational Needs and Disability SEND Code of Practice (DfE and DoH, 2014) has led to reforms in how children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities are supported in England. Now, five years on, research has begun to emerge exploring the implementation of the new statutory assessment process, the Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans and the outcomes of the process in England. This article seeks to review current research about the introduction of EHC needs assessment process and plans. It highlights three key themes: experiences of the process, reflections on the EHC plans and the outcomes of the process. Whilst parental involvement has improved, and there is some evidence of multiagency work, the views of children and young people continue to be marginalised, and EHC Plans are highly variable in quality, indicating that person‐centred approaches are not yet fully implemented. This indicates a need for further research on how to effectively involve CYP with SEND in statutory processes and support.

教育、健康和护理计划：到目前为止我们知道什么？

2014 年《儿童和家庭法案》和新的特殊教育需要和残疾 SEND 行为守则（DfE 和 DoH，2014 年）导致了英格兰对如何支持有特殊教育需要和残疾的儿童和年轻人的改革。现在，五年过去了，研究已经开始出现，探索在英格兰实施新的法定评估程序、教育、健康和护理 (EHC) 计划以及该程序的结果。本文旨在回顾目前关于引入 EHC 需求评估过程和计划的研究。它突出了三个关键主题：过程的经验、对 EHC 计划的反思和过程的结果。虽然父母的参与有所改善，并且有一些证据表明多机构工作，但儿童和年轻人的观点仍然被边缘化，EHC 计划的质量参差不齐，表明以人为本的方法尚未完全实施。这表明需要进一步研究如何有效地将 CYP 与 SEND 纳入法定程序和支持。
