TL;DR The government’s plan to create new specialist places in mainstream schools is a positive step, but it will likely lead to more EHCPs, further increasing pressure on councils and schools. EHCP Plus provides a solution, helping to manage this demand by saving time, improving plan quality, reducing backlogs, and meeting deadlines, so children get the right support at the right time.
The government’s plan to create thousands of new specialist places in mainstream schools is a big step towards making education more inclusive. It recognises that children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) should have the chance to learn alongside their peers in supportive environments. But adding more places isn’t enough on its own – schools and councils also need the right tools and systems to manage the extra demand this may create.
This is where EHCP Plus can help. Our tool makes the process of creating and managing Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs) simpler, quicker, and more effective. It supports councils, schools, and families to give children the right help at the right time.
EHCP Plus delivers four key benefits:
These new specialist places are a fantastic opportunity to improve education for children with SEND. With EHCP Plus, local authorities can make sure the process runs smoothly, so every child gets the support they need to thrive.
