Southwark Council reduced EHCPs with significant gaps by 42% in just one year
Southwark Council's SEND team were managing a high volume of EHCPs with limited time, budget, and an audit process that couldn't show them where to improve.
They knew quality needed to improve. They just didn't know how or where to start.
Twelve months later, here's what's changed:
→ 20% increase in plans graded 'Silver' quality or above
→ 42% reduction in EHCPs with "significant gaps"
→ 40% improvement in social care advice quality (Section D)
And they did this during a period of team instability and pressure, the exact conditions most SEND teams are operating under right now.

What made the difference?
Southwark implemented Invision360's EHCP QA module alongside a new SEND Audit and Learning Lead role. Within their first audit cycle, they could finally see:
- Exactly where quality gaps existed across all sections
- Which teams needed targeted support and training
- Real-time progress against their KPI targets
- Benchmark data to prove improvement to leadership and Ofsted
This wasn't about adding more work. It was about making quality assurance work smarter.
The module gave Southwark's team clarity on quick wins like compliance statement templates and plan writer checklists alongside longer-term training priorities across SENCOs, plan writers, and multi-agency partners.
The result
Real-time reporting that turns inspection preparation from an "impossible task" into a manageable, even motivating process. Your SEND team doesn't need to wait for the next inspection to identify what needs fixing. You can start building confidence, clarity, and documentable progress today.
More than 50 local authorities across the UK are already using our EHCP QA module to transform subjective judgment into measurable standards and live benchmarking. Read the full case study

Founded in 2021 by our CEO and experienced SEND service leader, Philip Stock, Invision360 has a rather personal backstory.
After spending most of his career working within local authority SEND Services as a Principal Educational Psychologist and Head of SEND and Inclusion services, Philip had first-hand experience of the challenges existing within SEND quality assurance. Knowing that technology could be the answer, Philip stepped out of local authority SEND leadership to start creating the Invision360 modules.
