# Guides for writing plans that hold

Plain-English guides for SEND and ASN staff on wording that can be delivered and reviewed, each with the primary sources it rests on.

- [What makes an EHCP outcome measurable](https://sendix.ai/guides/what-makes-an-ehcp-outcome-measurable.md) (England, updated 12 October 2026): An outcome in Section E has to be something you can check at review. Here is what the law and the SEND Code of Practice actually ask for, with rewritten examples you can adapt.
- [Getting Section F specific: provision that can be delivered and checked](https://sendix.ai/guides/getting-section-f-specific.md) (England, updated 12 October 2026): Section F is the part of an EHCP the local authority must secure. If it says 'access to' or 'as needed', nobody can tell what is owed, or whether it happened. Here is how to tighten it.
- [How to check an EHCP is legally compliant: a SENCO's checklist](https://sendix.ai/guides/how-to-check-an-ehcp-is-legally-compliant.md) (England, updated 12 October 2026): A section-by-section checklist for the EHCP your school has to deliver, based on the Children and Families Act 2014, the SEND Regulations 2014 and the SEND Code of Practice, and what to do when something is missing.
- [Writing Child's Plan actions that say who, what and by when](https://sendix.ai/guides/childs-plan-actions-who-what-by-when.md) (Scotland, updated 12 October 2026): A Child's Plan action that does not name a person, a task and a date is hard to deliver and harder to review. Here is what the GIRFEC guidance asks for, what is statutory and what is not, and how to rewrite common actions.
- [How to write measurable IEP targets (Scotland)](https://sendix.ai/guides/how-to-write-measurable-iep-targets-scotland.md) (Scotland, updated 12 October 2026): Education Scotland's IEP guidance says a measurable target states what will be different for the learner and how you will know. Here is what that means in practice, with rewritten examples and a checklist.
