The Future of Education, Health, and Care Plans with EHCP Plus

Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs) are critical in supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

However, the process of drafting and maintaining EHCPs can be overwhelming for local authorities and professionals alike. EHCP Plus is our cutting-edge digital tool that aims to address these challenges by streamlining and automating parts of the process.

EHCP Plus has been co-created with SEND teams to tackle the most time-consuming aspect of EHCPs—initial drafting. The tool automates up to 80% of this task, allowing case workers to focus more on what truly matters: supporting children and families. By centralising information from various sources such as educational psychologist reports, school support plans, and medical notes, EHCP Plus produces a high-quality, consistent draft that saves case workers valuable time.

For local authorities, the efficiency gains are significant. By automating much of the drafting process, EHCP Plus saves around six hours per plan, helping case workers meet statutory deadlines and reducing backlogs. The tool’s ability to track outcomes and provide data analytics also supports more informed resource allocation and service delivery too.

EHCP Plus is not just a tech solution; it’s a step towards improving the quality and consistency of EHCPs nationwide, ultimately leading to better outcomes for children and young people with SEND.
