Explanation

An Education, Health, and Care (EHC) plan is a legal document in the UK that outlines the special educational, health, and social care needs of a child or young person.

By extending the age limit to 25, the EHC plan recognizes that some individuals may require ongoing support as they transition into adulthood and further education or employment.
