We are unable to answer this request within the appropriate limit so are applying Section 12 exemption. Speaking with the Head of SEND they are unable to provide advice to reduce this under 18 hours work. There are 1952 EHCPs, which we would have to manual read through to get the data as there isnt any reports that are electronically generated that could answer these questions. At 5 minutes per request, this would be approx. 162 hours of work.
