We know how much time it takes to organise access arrangements, and to make sure they’re done properly and carefully. SEND Assistant is an innovative tool that tackles that head on — a simple, time-saving system that turns a 2–3 hour admin job into minutes per candidate. It’s a great idea, and we’re confident it will help schools reduce workload and improve consistency and quality in the evidence they submit.
Technology that helps SENCOs complete professional JCQ access arrangement responses (Forms 8 and 9) quickly, including producing high-quality narrative writing without needing specialist SEND training.
Reduces time spent on admin from 2–3 hours to ~2 minutes per candidate, streamlining staff input and making it easier to complete larger volumes of applications (especially where deprivation increases demand). Reduces stress and frees SENCO time for inclusion practice.
