Judicial Summary

Section I of EHC Plan – whether there is always a requirement to name a school or other institution (or type of either) in section I even where section 61 of Children and Families Act 2014 applies (‘education otherwise than in school’) – whether M & M v West Sussex County Council (SEN) [2018] 347 (AAC) was correctly decided on this point.
