With the right special education management software and the appropriate Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP), you can give more support to vulnerable children and work towards improving Ofsted ratings. This in turn means schools can provide a better service to families, and the parents and children themselves can expect more positive and powerful outcomes.

Special Educational Needs (SEN) is a term used to describe learning difficulties that make it harder for children to learn, compared to other children of the same age. Children and young people with SEN are likely to need additional or a different type of help.

The kinds of difficulties children may face include:

• Thinking, understanding and learning

• Physical or sensory difficulties

• Language, speech and communication

• Emotional or behavioural difficulties

Local Authorities have a responsibility to ensure every child is given the opportunity to learn and develop, no matter what difficulties they face. Using special education software that helps to track assessments and reviews and collate an EHCP, you can help children who may need assistance, alongside schools, teachers and families.

A recent study found that children with SEN and disabilities are being failed by the system, and the Education Ombudsman has revealed it is upholding nearly 9 out of every 10 cases being investigated. This failing by local authorities has a damaging effect on children that need additional help and support and has a significant impact on their education. We understand that these problems are caused by a lack of resources, this is where special education management software can help, allowing you to get more from the limited resources you have available.

What is special education management software?

The management of special educational needs through specialist and innovative software assists your schools in helping to create a better workflow, ensuring accurate recording of individual cases and getting a joined-up view of all services involved.

If your software is working with you, vulnerable children and young people will receive a more personalised and empathetic approach to education. Parents will feel more involved in their progress, and schools in your council will be able to improve their overall abilities.
