Giving you a voice in the Education, Health and Care statutory assessment in England
It keeps the statutory 20 week timetable for you, so the dates are not one more thing to carry, and helps you use your voice at every stage of the process.
- Every statutory deadline tracked against your case's own start date, so you are not the one counting
- Help with the forms and paperwork, so you know what is needed and everything is in one place
- When something slips you are told what it means and handed the letter, so you are never starting from a blank page
- Hand an adviser all your records on one PDF: every missed deadline, every communication with your local authority and in the order it all happened. That is work you would otherwise be paying an adviser to do.
- Nothing about your child is uploaded, shared or sold. You are never asked to sign up and never sent junk mail.
On iPhone and Android.
How it works
Set it up once. After that you’re not the one keeping track.
The EHC needs assessment process in England runs to a legal timetable. Most families only find out a deadline has passed long after it has. You should not have to be the one watching. EHCPwise does that part for you.
Add your case details
The date the assessment started, who started it and the name and details of your local authority and caseworker. That is all it takes to begin.
The clock is watched for you
Every deadline is counted from your own start date and shown on the live timeline. You are told three days before each one is due and again on the day.
Supported to have your say when you are asked
Your local authority must seek your views before it decides whether to assess and again during the assessment itself. You know your child best. EHCPwise supports you at both points, with prompts if needed and a place to write your views in your own words. Save them, come back and change them, then send them to your caseworker. The app keeps a copy of exactly what you sent and when.
Act with confidence
When a date slips, or you need to query a decision, you are not left to work out what to do next. Plain English guidance explains where you stand and what your options are. The app even provides editable letters, already drafted with your details and your caseworker's, ready to send from your device.
The statutory timetable
Every deadline and how EHCPwise supports you at each stage
- Week 6 Decision on whether to assess EHCPwise counts the six weeks for you and tells you before the date arrives. There is guidance on giving your views, chasing a delay and querying a decision.
- Weeks 6 to 16 Professional advice gathered Tick each piece of advice off as it arrives. The app tracks every one against its own six weeks and shows you what is late.
- Week 16 Decision on whether to issue a plan The app tells you before the deadline arrives. If the decision goes against you, the guidance and support on what to do next are there. That includes editable letters and links to the official sites for mediation or an appeal.
- 15 days Your time to comment EHCPwise shows you what to look out for in each section of the draft plan, then helps you draft your response.
- Week 20 Final plan issued If the date passes, the app explains your options and drafts the chase letter.
At both decision points your local authority must tell you what it has decided, and if it decides not to assess or not to issue a plan, it must give you its specific reasons why. Those reasons are what any challenge is built on. EHCPwise records the date the decision arrived, lets you upload any letters and helps you write a reply. Delay and error can happen at any point and not only at week 20, so the guidance on making a formal complaint and referring the case to the Local Government Ombudsman is there for you throughout.
What is inside
Everything in one place, so nothing gets lost.
The app explains what should be happening at each stage and gives a parent, carer or young person a voice when things go wrong, so nothing depends on you having to remember.
Live statutory timeline
Six week decision, sixteen week draft and twenty week final plan, all tracked from your own start date, plus the fifteen days you have to comment once the draft arrives.
Reminders and calendar
A notification three days before each deadline and again on the day, plus one tap to add them to your own personal device calendar.
Advice checklist
Tick off advice from the school or setting, educational psychology, health and social care as it arrives, along with anything you have asked for from other professionals. Each one is tracked against the six weeks it is due within.
Your views, on the record
Your local authority must ask what you think, both before it decides whether to assess and again during the assessment itself. EHCPwise helps you write your views down, send them and keep a copy of exactly what you sent and when.
Letters that write themselves
Request an assessment, chase or query a decision, respond to the draft plan, query the placement named in your plan, request mediation, make a formal complaint or refer the case to the Ombudsman. Your case details are merged in for you.
Know your rights
Plain English guidance on appealing to the SEND Tribunal, making a formal complaint and what to do if a decision goes the wrong way. Appeal deadlines are tracked too.
Document store
Photograph or import reports, letters and emails so the whole file sits in one place, ready to open or share whenever you need it.
Contact log
A dated record of every call, email and meeting, with who it was with. This is the paper trail that carries weight if you ever appeal or complain.
Meeting preparation and glossary
A checklist of what to ask before a meeting, including any advice still missing, plus a glossary that turns SEND jargon into ordinary English.
Case summary export
Turn everything you have tracked into a single PDF you can hand to an adviser, a solicitor or a new caseworker, without retelling the whole story.
Privacy by design
You are in control of your data.
There is no account to create and no server to sign in to, because there is no server holding your information. Everything you enter lives in the app on your own device, which means it cannot be leaked, sold or handed over by us. We could not read it if we tried.
- Nothing you enter is uploadedNo cloud sync, no backups to us, no analytics and no advertising identifiers.
- No account sign-ups, no junk mailNothing to sign up for, no username and no password. You never give us an email address, so nothing can land in your inbox. No newsletters and no marketing, ever.
- Locked if you want itProtect the app with Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint or face unlock, or your device passcode.
- Yours to deleteOne tap removes every case detail, document and log entry from the device for good.
- One payment, nothing furtherNo adverts, no subscription and no in-app purchases. Nothing is sold to you inside the app. What you download is the whole app.
What EHCPwise does not do
It is worth knowing before you buy, and we would rather tell you here than have you find out afterwards.
- The initial assessment only. EHCPwise covers the process from the request for an assessment through to the final plan at week 20. It does not cover annual reviews, phase transfers, amendments to an existing plan or a re-assessment.
- England only. EHC plans are an English system. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland work differently, and the app does not apply there.
- Guidance, not legal advice. It explains the statutory process and what your local authority has to do. It cannot tell you what the outcome of your own case should be.
- It does not speak for you. The letters are drafts with your details filled in. You read them, change what you want and send them yourself.
