Imosphere is thrilled to announce the development of EHCP Genie – a new AI-powered assistant that supports local authorities through the entire EHCP journey, from first draft to Annual Review.

Co-designed with local authorities and frontline SEND professionals, EHCP Genie is designed for real-world application, reducing admin, enhancing quality and consistency, and ensuring each child's unique needs are met.

Designed for the pressures Councils face today

Local authorities are under growing pressure to manage rising EHCP volumes, with tighter national expectations, and ongoing review backlogs.

Only 17% of EHCP workload involves creating brand-new plans; 83% is focused on reviews, underscoring the importance of review-focused support tools like EHCP Genie.

EHCP Genie supports professionals to redraft and improve EHCPs, not just create new ones, helping ensure every plan reflects a child’s current needs and supports better decisions.

What EHCP Genie does

• Creates new EHCPs in line with statutory guidance
• Facilitates redrafting and updating of existing plans for Annual Reviews and phased transfers
• Quality-assures plans with built-in checks and evidence prompts
• Highlights inconsistencies and contradictions to improve accuracy
• Supports the golden thread by ensuring outcomes are explicitly linked to needs and provision for clarity and consistency
• Helps develop clear, measurable, and appropriate SMART outcomes
• Works within your existing processes, leveraging AI whilst keeping professionals fully in control

Key benefits

• Reduces EHCP writing and review time
• Helps teams meet 20-week statutory deadlines more reliably
• Reduces inconsistencies while improving the quality of EHCPs
• Strengthens defensibility for inspections and tribunals
• Gives families more confidence in the process
• Improves oversight and professional confidence – without adding workload  

Ready for reforms; trusted by councils

EHCP Genie was co-designed with SEND teams from across the UK and reflects the real challenges and workflows councils deal with every day.

It’s secure, UK-hosted, GDPR-compliant, and sits within Imosphere’s SEND Genie Toolkit that is already trusted by councils nationwide.

Whether you're preparing for digital EHCP reform or simply looking for a better way to manage rising caseloads, EHCP Genie is here to help you build stronger, fairer, and more up-to-date plans every time.

Supercharge your EHCP and SEND funding processes

EHCP Genie is a powerful standalone tool – but when combined with Funding Genie and Insights Genie, it becomes part of a fully connected system for better EHCPs, fairer funding decisions, and faster insight.

The SEND Genie Toolkit includes:

• EHCP Genie – for drafting, reviewing and QA
• Funding Genie – for transparent, evidence-based banding
• Insight Genie – a growing set of powerful data exploration and insights tools, with forecasting and delivery planning coming soon

Used together, the Toolkit helps councils streamline EHCPs, deliver fairer funding, and access insights faster, in one joined-up system.
