Local authorities have a responsibility to take a thoughtful, responsible approach to AI in SEND. Decisions affect children, families, and communities - and professional judgement must always come first.
Imosphere enables councils to use AI to reduce administrative burden, improve consistency, and strengthen transparency - while keeping SEND professionals firmly in control.
Our approach to AI is grounded in the reality of SEND delivery within a local authority - from EHCP quality and funding decisions through to oversight and improvement.
Imosphere understands that:
