Your SEND team is drowning. We’ve already solved this in 40 councils.
EHCPs take days. Demand is up 16% year on year. The 20-week statutory deadline is failing across the sector. Caseworkers are writing into the night. Agency staff cost £500–800 a day and still can’t keep up.
You can’t hire your way out of this.
You can’t recruit fast enough. The caseworkers you need don’t exist in the market. Agency staff are expensive — £500 to £800 a day — and they don’t know your processes, your templates, or your children. Every new starter takes months to become productive, and half of them leave within a year.
Generic AI tools can’t draft an EHCP. They don’t know statutory sections. They don’t cite professional reports. They don’t produce consistent output across a team of twenty caseworkers. And building something in-house takes years you don’t have — years your children are waiting.
You need something that already works, built by people who understand SEND, proven in councils like yours, and ready to switch on in weeks.
Already working in councils like yours
Named councils. Measured results. The kind of evidence your DCS and cabinet member need.
60% time saving
Northumberland deployed EHCP Genie and saw a 60% reduction in drafting time. In the first four weeks, caseworkers saved 50 hours — time returned directly to children and families. Plans became more consistent across the team, with every output following the same statutory structure.
95% rise in demand — absorbed
North Somerset faced a 95% rise in EHCP demand. Rather than hiring at scale, they used EHCP Genie to handle the increased volume without increasing headcount. The same team, producing more plans, faster, to a higher standard of consistency.
A network of proof
Across 40 councils, EHCP Genie has returned over 8,000 hours to frontline SEND teams, supported more than 4,000 children, and generated over £5M in savings. Every deployment followed the same pattern: configure in a week, pilot with real cases, measure the results, then scale.
In their own words
Real SEND practitioners. Real councils. The people who use it every day.
“I do not think I can go back to not using EHCP Genie — I have become reliant on it now.”
— SEND Caseworker“The biggest benefit is the speed at which EHCPs are now created and the improved quality of those plans.”
— EHC Plan Writer“Previously, writing an EHCP took me about a day, but now I can manage two or even three a day.”
— SEND Lead, Pilot Council“The tool makes our plans more consistent between the team — they look alike and they read alike.”
— SEND Caseworker, Northumberland County Council“I have been able to spend less time writing which means I can spend more time communicating with the family and also the plan will be issued to support young person quicker.”

Purpose-built products for SEND workflows. Not generic AI bolted onto council processes.
EHCP Genie
AI-powered drafting of Education, Health and Care Plans. Caseworkers upload professional reports in any format. The AI reads them, extracts relevant information, and produces a compliant first draft with full citations — so every line traces back to its source document. What took a day now takes minutes.
40 councils live. 80% drafting time saved. 8,000+ hours returned. 4,000+ children supported.
EHCP Genie →Annual Review Genie
AI-assisted EHCP Annual Reviews with linked evidence. The same approach that transformed initial EHCP drafting, applied to the annual review cycle. Pulls together review meeting notes, professional updates, and progress data to produce structured review documents with evidence trails.
Annual Review Genie →We’ll run EHCP Genie against a real case from your backlog — in front of your SEND team. You’ll see the draft it produces, the time it takes, and whether it meets your quality bar. One day, no commitment beyond that.
Discovery Days are free. We ask that your head of department sponsors the session and brings the people who can make decisions and make things happen.
