EHCP Plus - Giving back 50,000 days to Children and Young People

A Talk by Emma Ockelford (Founder, Outcomes Matter Consulting)

About this Talk

From early steps with SEND case workers, EP's and technical experts we knew there had to be way to tackle the EHCP crisis head on by targeting the biggest bottle neck - the first draft EHCP. And now, by combining the power of new technology and staff adoption, we are able to provide a solution that sticks and supports get the right support in place for children with SEND. Based on hundreds of hours of research with colleagues, with many years of experience and insight into professional practice and innovations in SEND we have developed EHCP Plus. Join us to hear about our journey to develop the first ever AI tool to draft EHCPs, which aims to save 5 hours per EHCP. Based on 2023 data nationally this would give back professionals over 50,000 days to spend on higher value tasks, such as direct engagement with children and families. We'll also share feedback from the case workers that have been involved, some of the headline impacts achieved, and our plans for the future including exploring Annual Reviews and tools for other professionals in the EHCP journey. Finally you can find out how your Local Authority can get involved, and about our plans for engaging colleagues across the system in schools and in health too.
