Managing Phase Transfer Pressure in SEND
As volumes increase and statutory deadlines approach, the margin for flexibility reduces. Caseworkers and managers are required to balance timeliness, quality and family engagement within systems that often have limited spare capacity.
Our latest report reflects a consistent theme from SEND leaders. Phase transfers tend to concentrate pressure that has been building across the year. When drafting activity absorbs more time than necessary, capacity is gradually eroded. By the time phase transfers arrive, services are already operating at full stretch.
The report explores why some authorities are focusing earlier on drafting capacity as a year-round consideration, freeing time ahead of peak periods so professional judgement and quality can be maintained when transitions matter most.
