The department does not hold statistics on how many children with foetal valproate spectrum disorder are issued with education, health and care (EHC) plans.

Information on the primary type of need for all children and young people with EHC plans is available here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/data-tables/permalink/f9f635d7-6712-4e64-172f-08ddbed4c851.
