EHCPs (Education, Health and Care Plans) can feel overwhelming, confusing, complex, and surrounded by so many myths. That’s exactly why we knew this conversation needed to happen.

In this episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Eniko Kocsis from The Rainbow Centre in Fareham, Hampshire. Eniko has supported hundreds of families through the EHCP process and is a true champion for helping parents understand what their children are entitled to. Her passion, training, and hands-on experience make her a powerhouse of knowledge in this space—and she’s here to make things clearer for you.

We dive into:
 📝 What an EHCP is
 📅 When and how to start the process
 💡 Key things to include
 🔒 What parts are legally binding
 👥 Who can request one
 ...and plenty more golden nuggets to help you feel more confident and informed.

This episode is a must-listen for any parent or professional wanting to better understand the EHCP journey and bust the many misconceptions that often get in the way.

🎧 Available now on all podcast platforms and on YouTube - sorry, no video this time, but we felt it necessary to include the subtitles for those that need it.

This episode we are joined by Georgia one of our ambassadors to talk all things connected to sex. Including how it is taught to people with cerebral palsy, how it is spoken about around teens with cerebral palsy and even the cautions and potential for abuse. It needed to be spoken about and I am so glad I had Georgia giving her own personal experience and opinions.
