Young people have the right to request that an institution is named in their Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP), and local authorities have a duty to name that institution in the EHC plan unless, following consultation with the institution, the local authority determines that it is unsuitable for the young person’s age, ability, aptitude or Special Educational Needs or that to place the young person there would be incompatible with the efficient use of resources or the efficient education of others.
