The problem
Behind every tribunal loss is a plan that wasn't written right.
When an EHCP reaches tribunal, the question isn't whether the school cares about the child. It's whether the provision is specific, quantified, and grounded in statute — exactly as the Children & Families Act 2014 requires.
Most plans fail this test. Not from negligence, but because drafting to statutory standard takes legal expertise most SENCO teams don't have time for — and generic AI tools actively make worse, hallucinating references to legislation that doesn't exist.
Sendix is the compliance layer between your student data and a defensible plan. Every clause is verified against statute before it leaves the editor.

Glass Box
Provision on the left.
Statute on the right.
Every clause in the draft editor is verified against the Children & Families Act 2014 in real time. You see the reasoning — not just the output.
Sarah Mitchell (Year 4) requires specialist speech and language therapy to address her identified difficulties with expressive language and social communication.
The school will provide 60 minutes per week of direct 1:1 speech and language therapy, delivered by a qualified Speech and Language Therapist (SaLT).
Sessions will focus on developing functional communication strategies using a Colourful Semantics approach aligned with the Balanced System framework.
Progress will be reviewed termly against SMART targets set in collaboration with the class teacher and SENCO...
Provision is specific and quantified as required by Section 37(2). Frequency, duration, and staff qualification meet statutory specificity requirements.
How it works
Three steps from existing data to verified plan.
Connect your school data.
Sendix syncs with your MIS via the Wonde API. No CSV exports, no re-entry. SIMS, Arbor, and Bromcom are all supported — student profiles load automatically.
Draft provisions that hold up.
Select a student and section. Sendix generates a baseline provision draft using their assessed needs, then quantifies frequency, duration, and staff qualification against the statutory standard.
Verify before anyone signs.
The Audit Door checks every clause against the Children & Families Act 2014 and SEND Code of Practice before export. Flagged items show exactly which statutory test failed and why.
The Glass Box difference
Why not ChatGPT?
Generic AI models hallucinate legal references and fabricate statute citations. Sendix verifies every clause against statute before it reaches the SENCO.
“The student will receive appropriate support for their communication needs as deemed necessary by the school.”
Legally indefensible at tribunal. No audit trail. No statutory grounding.
“60 minutes per week of direct 1:1 speech and language therapy” meets the specificity requirement of CFA 2014 s.37(2).
Every clause grounded in statute. Full audit trail. Tribunal-defensible by design.

SEND Reform
The government's SEND and Alternative Provision Improvement Plan introduces ISPs as a potential alternative to EHCPs for some children. Sendix is building the compliance layer for both — so your documentation holds up regardless of which framework applies. Read the consultation.
