Accessing the EHC Portal
From the 3rd April 2023 a new portal will be available to allow parents, carers, young people and
professionals to complete and submit EHC needs assessment requests to the SEND Family Services
Team.
To access the portal, select the EHCP tile from the following web page:
https://earlyhelpportal.suffolk.gov.uk/web/portal/pages/home
This will display the portal landing page. The portal landing page provides information about the EHC portal,
hosts links to relevant guidance, and signposts users to other services. An alternative route into the service
(via the EHCNA Request Team) for those who are unable to use the portal is also detailed on this page.
