About this project

The Invision360 platform offers an array of tools that empower local authorities to make improvements to the standard of care they provide to children with SEND or in care.

These award-winning tools have been developed in partnership with local authorities to drive improvements in quality for Education Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), EHCP Annual Reviews, EHCP Health reports (QHA), Personal Education Plans, and statutory Educational Psychology Advice that informs children’s EHC assessments.

The Invision360 tools are frequently mentioned in CQC and Ofsted Inspection letters, which acknowledge their contribution to the improved quality of EHCPs for local authorities. All the tools guide the user through a user-friendly interface, a step-by-step process, built-in checklist criteria, and examples of good practice. The technology used in these tools helps local authority teams to analyse trends, progress towards outcomes, identify areas for improvement, and evidence improvement cycles.

With over 45 Local authorities having adopted the tools, the benchmarking feature enables partners to compare their performance with others nationally and regionally. The tools are reported to have contributed to a 50% reduction in the time it takes for a plan to be audited

The child or young person's voice is collected through experiential feedback links; local authorities collate and analyse first hand user experiences from children/young people and parents/carers following engagement with services, which helps in building an overall picture.

Invision 360 are broadening their menu of tools available to local authorities, with tools to support safeguarding and social care in development. Working with data scientists, using innovative machine learning techniques, the Invision360 team are also building SEND tools to further increase efficiencies and good practice.
