The problem
Consultations are complex. Schools are stretched.
When a local authority names your school in an EHC plan, you have a legal obligation to respond. Most schools aren't equipped for what that actually requires.
50+ pages per consultation
Each EHCP consultation arrives with needs assessments, professional reports, and appendices. SENCOs must read, understand, and respond to all of it.
15 days to respond
The legal deadline is tight. Schools must provide a considered response to a Section 39 consultation — on top of everything else a SENCO manages.
Getting it wrong has consequences
An inadequate response can lead to an unsuitable placement, tribunal exposure, and reputational damage. SENCOs are making legal decisions without legal training.
No institutional memory
Every consultation starts from scratch. Previous responses, school capacity data, and cohort context don't carry forward — knowledge walks out the door.
How it works
Three steps. Under an hour.
From uploaded consultation to evidence-backed response — with the legal framework handled for you.
Upload
Upload documents directly or simply forward the consultation email to your school's dedicated SENCO AI address. Needs, provisions, and proposed placement are extracted automatically.
Analyse
The Section 39 legal framework is applied. Child needs are matched against your school's capabilities. Cohort compatibility is assessed.
Respond
Generate an evidence-backed draft consultation response. Download as Word, review, and send — with confidence that the legal framework is covered.
