Section E outcome, as written
Ava will make progress with her communication skills over time.
Why it’s flagged
No skill, starting point, measure or date to review it against.
Statutory guidanceSEND Code of Practice 2015, para 9.66: outcomes should be SMART. (opens the source in a new tab)
Proposed change · you decide
Deleted: Ava will make progress with her communication skills over time. Inserted: By March 2027, Ava will follow a two-step spoken instruction in class without it being repeated, in four out of five observed opportunities. This term it is one in five.
Baseline and measure from the speech and language therapy report in the file.
Still to confirm
The file gives the baseline, not the rate of progress, so “four in five by March” needs confirming with Ava’s speech and language therapist.
For SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) teams in England working on EHCPs, and ASN (additional support needs) teams in Scotland working on Child’s Plans and IEPs. Every example here is fictional.
What do I take to the council?
You can’t amend an EHCP yourself. Sendix reads and drafts; you decide and send.

Outcome E1
Provision F1
Comes loose at “as required”
Step 1:Flag · F1, as written
Ava will receive appropriate support for her receptive and expressive language, including vocabulary and spoken instructions, as required.
Step 2:Cite · why “as required” is flagged
It leaves someone to judge whether Ava gets the support at all, so it may be hard to hold anyone to.
Step 3:Draft · proposed F1, from Section B2
- Pre-teach new curriculum vocabulary
- Trained teaching assistant
- Word Aware approach
- 20 minutes, 3 times a week
- Groups of 4 or fewer
- Quiet small-group room
One rewrite answers both flags in F1.
Read the full wording and its source
Ava will receive pre-teaching of new curriculum vocabulary from a trained teaching assistant, using the Word Aware approach, for 20 minutes, three times per week, in a group of no more than four pupils, in the small-group room adjoining her classroom where ambient noise stays below 45 decibels.
Section B2 of the same plan: “School observation and classroom environment data record that Ava learns new curriculum vocabulary when a trained teaching assistant pre-teaches it through the Word Aware approach for 20 minutes, three times per week, in a group of no more than four pupils, in the small-group room adjoining her classroom where measured ambient noise stays below 45 decibels.”
Step 4:You decide
Your call: nothing moves until you choose.Step 5:Send · what you send the council
Nothing yet. Decide on F1 and this fills in.
- Meanwhile, staff keep delivering F1 as written. It stays in force until the council amends it.
- Only the council can amend the plan, and it consults the family first (SEND Code of Practice, paras 9.193–9.198).
Does it only find problems, or help fix them?
It helps fix them: each fix is drafted from what’s already in the file, and you decide what’s used.
Flag · Underlines the exact wording too vague to deliver or review.
Cite · Names the rule behind it and links to the source.
Draft · Writes a fix from evidence in the file, or asks for the missing report.
You decide · Accept, edit or reject each change.
Send · What you accepted becomes a tracked-changes request to the council.
Which plans does it cover?
EHCP review · England
Flags, cites, drafts a fix from the file, and exports what you accept.
Child’s Plan review · Scotland
Flags what a field doesn’t yet say, against GIRFEC guidance. You write the wording.
IEP review · Scotland
Checks targets and suggests measurable wording, leaving gaps for your team.
Sendix works from the plans you upload. It doesn’t connect to SEEMiS or other school management systems, so it holds only what you choose to share.
Your DPO will have questions. We’ve answered them.
Read the answers for your DPO- Plans stay your school’s. Your school is the data controller. Sendix acts only on its instructions.
- Sendix staff can’t read plan text. Not through the application. Only your SENCOs, SEND leads and trust SEND lead can.
- The walkthrough uses a fictional plan. No pupil data, on the call or before it.
What does it cost? The first step, a check of 2 or 3 fictional EHCPs, is free.How pricing works
