At Agilisys, we are committed to transforming public services through innovative technology, ensuring better outcomes for children, families, and local authorities. As part of our ongoing work in the education sector, we have submitted evidence to the Education Committee to support its inquiry into improving the SEND system. 

Empowering Local Authorities with AI-Driven Solutions

Our submission highlights the challenges faced by councils in managing EHCPs, including rising demand, administrative burdens, and delays in decision-making. We outline how Generative AI can play a crucial role in:
1. Reducing backlogs by streamlining EHCP drafting and review
2. Enhancing consistency to ensure high-quality, standardised plans
3. Improving collaboration between caseworkers, families, and education providers
4. Freeing up caseworker time to focus on direct support for children and families

Real-World Impact: EHCP Plus

We share insights from our work with local authorities through our EHCP tool. The AI-powered tool is designed to assist SEND caseworkers in creating high-quality EHCPs more efficiently and enables teams to spend more time where it matters most—supporting children and families.

A Vision for the Future

In our submission, we advocate for a modern, technology-enabled EHCP system that ensures faster, fairer, and more accessible support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). By leveraging AI responsibly, councils can deliver more timely interventions, reduce unnecessary stress for families, and improve educational outcomes.

We are proud to contribute to this important national conversation and look forward to working with policymakers and local authorities to build a future-ready EHCP framework.
