The changes in law confer the right to make requests and decisions directly with young people over 16 – rather than to their parents. This has raised a lot of questions from young people, their families and the professional working with them about how young people can be prepared and supported to make important decisions about their future. This fact sheet explains the law, how it relates to EHC Plans and how this works in practice: pfa_factsheet_-_mca-cb_final_versions_3-12
