Faster Support for Families of Children with Special Needs
For parents and carers of children with additional needs, navigating the EHCP process adds considerable stress, compounded by lengthy waiting times for essential support.
For parents and carers of children with additional needs, navigating the EHCP process adds considerable stress, compounded by lengthy waiting times for essential support.
Our new AI solution in development aims to alleviate this by significantly reducing the time it takes for local authorities to produce EHCPs. By automating initial plan drafting based on family input, the AI tool could decrease individual EHCP completion times by up to an estimated 75%.
This means faster responses for parents and carers. As highlighted in the recent LGAi.uk summit, timely EHCPs can dramatically transform outcomes for children. The goal of the AI to eradicate backlogs promises swifter support for more families.
Additionally, by freeing up caseworkers' time, the solution aims to enhance communication with families, ensuring they receive better assistance throughout the EHCP process.
This AI initiative has the potential to significantly improve the experiences and well-being of parents and carers across the UK, offering a more efficient and empathetic approach to supporting children with special needs.
