ICYMI: We recently launched Inside EHCP Genie: The Spotlight Series – where we shared what we’re learning from working alongside local authorities to strengthen EHCP quality in practice.

Across five short videos, we’ve explored some of the most common challenges councils have told us about – and how teams are addressing them in practical, manageable ways, including:

• The Golden Thread
• Specific and quantified provision
• SMART outcomes
• Gaps, inconsistencies and contradictions
• Retaining local templates and workflows

Catch up on all five episodes here: https://www.imosphere.com/post/improving-ehcp-quality-in-practice

Improving EHCP quality in practice Inside EHCP Genie: The Spotlight Series.

Local authorities are increasingly looking at how SEND funding decisions can become more consistent, visible and defensible in practice.

For many councils, the challenge is no longer whether a funding framework exists. It is whether decisions can be applied consistently across growing demand and increasingly complex cohorts.

We are seeing growing interest in approaches that help councils:

- Improve consistency without disrupting existing practice
- Strengthen rationale and audit visibility
- Build better cohort insight
- Create more connected funding workflows ahead of reform

Here we explore two approaches councils are taking: digitising existing local frameworks or adopting a structured needs-led model already used across England’s local authorities.
