Who is the Case Officer for a particular child?
To find out who the Case Officer is for a particular child please take a look at the Case Officer allocations list. If you any help please contact EHCPTeam@shropshire.gov.uk.
You can contact a Case Officer by phone or email. Please be aware that Case Officers spend a considerable proportion of their working week in meetings, so they are not always available to speak to schools and parent carers immediately. We understand how frustrating it can be if you can’t speak to your Case Officer when you call due to them being unavailable because of meetings and other commitments/priorities. Please be patient and allow 5 working days for us to reply to your email or return your phone call before contacting us again, we will do our best to respond as soon as we can.
