EHCP Draft Checker

Upload your child's draft EHC plan and get a free automated review of the legal basics — missing sections, needs without matching provision, and vague wording — plus a draft amendments letter you can edit and send within your 15-day response window.

This is information, not legal advice. For advice on your specific case, contact IPSEA (free SEND legal helpline) on IPSEA Call-in Helpline: 0300 222 5899 (check current times). The advice line works by booked appointment — 0300 222 5899 — current times at ipsea.org.uk/call-in-helpline.

Before you upload — your privacy

A draft EHCP contains sensitive information about your child. Please read how we handle it before uploading.

  • What we process. The text of your draft plan is analysed against fixed legal checks (SEND Regulations 2014, Code of Practice 2015) and, where AI is used, against a hard-coded list of legal sources. We never make claims about your child's needs — only about the document's legal form.
  • The current checker processes files locally. Uploaded files and extracted text remain in this browser session; use Clear or close the page to remove them from the interface.
  • AI analysis is not yet enabled. The section checks and identity scrub currently run in your browser, without sending the file to an AI provider.
  • Optional identity removal. Before analysis you can strip your child's name, date of birth, address and school name from the text. The checks do not need identity to work.
  • Read our full privacy policy.
