What's inside

Everything SENguru does for your case.

Plus everything in Free. Pricing to be confirmed nearer launch.

Why isn't everything free?

A handful of our AI features (drafting help, the chatbot, automated review) cost real money to run every time you use them. Keeping those on a modest Supporter plan means we can keep the core case-tracking tools free for every family, forever, without ads or selling data.

Simple process wizard

Shows you exactly where you are in the EHCP process and what to do next, so you're never guessing which step comes next or what it means for your child.

SENguru's EHCP process map, showing the current stage and the first action to take.

Deadline reminders

Every statutory deadline in your case, tracked automatically, with reminders in good time so nothing slips past you.

Contact log tracking

BCC SENguru into your emails and we'll track and summarise your correspondence, so you have a clear record of who said what, and when, without extra admin.

Behaviour and communication log

EBSA Autism ADHD

Track behaviour and communication over time, so you can spot patterns, share them with school, and back up what you're seeing at home.

SENguru's behaviour and communication log, with a monthly calendar and quick daily notes.

Case timeline summary

A single timeline of your case with all the key dates, so you can see the whole picture at a glance, or hand it to a new professional in seconds.

Automated EHCP review and response

Upload a draft EHCP and SENguru checks it against the legal test, flags vague or unenforceable wording, and helps you draft your response.

Amelia K · EHCP draft v3 · §F

Section F · Special educational provision

What the school must do

Amelia will receive support from a teaching assistant for some lessons each week, with a focus on her reading and writing. The school will provide opportunities for small-group work where appropriate.

Speech and language therapy will be provided as needed, with the SENCO liaising with the NHS service. Strategies to support working memory and processing speed will be embedded across the curriculum.

SENguru found 3 things to check
Checked against the SEND Code of Practice
Unquantified support. "For some lessons each week" can't be enforced. The Code (§9.69) requires provision that is specific and quantified, e.g. "15 hours of TA support per week."
"As needed" is a red flag. Speech & language therapy should state how much, how often, and by whom, otherwise there's no duty to deliver it.
This part is strong. Working-memory strategies match the educational psychologist's report (page 7). Worth pairing with a measurable outcome in Section E.

Ask SENguru anything

A chatbot grounded in UK SEND law and your own case, for the questions that come up at 11pm: what does this mean, is this normal, what can I ask for.

Part of our Supporter plan
Ask SENguru anything, explaining how to secure ongoing therapy through an EHCP, citing the Children and Families Act and the SEND Code of Practice.

Form filler

Do you have to fill out 50-page forms to get help from your local authority? SENguru is here to help. We pull in what we already know about your case and help you fill the rest in.

Part of our Supporter plan

Document upload, storage and AI analysis

Keep every report, letter and assessment in one secure place, and let SENguru read them for you: what's in there, what it means, and what's missing.

SENguru's document library, with each file summarised and tagged by EHCP stage.

Tribunal pack generator

Coming soon

Hopefully SENguru helps you get the support your child needs without resorting to legal action. But all too often, a tribunal is just another part of the SEN process. Don't let it intimidate you: we'll help you build a tribunal pack, grounded in SEN law, with the documents you need and the evidence you've already gathered in SENguru.

Will be part of our Supporter plan

About our Supporter plan

The tools you need to understand and track your case are free, forever: that's non-negotiable. A few of the more involved AI features cost us real money every time they're used, so they sit on our Supporter plan.

We're a community interest company, not a start-up chasing a return: no ads, and we never sell your family's data. Signing up keeps the free tools free for families who can't pay.

A fair question

Why not just use ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is very good at sounding confident. That's exactly the danger when it's your child's legal rights, and your child's data, on the line.

SENguru
  • Built on UK SEND law, not guesswork. Trained directly on the Children and Families Act, the SEND Code of Practice and the regulations, and checked by legal review, so it cites the law instead of inventing it.
  • Your child's data never leaves the UK. Processed and stored here under UK GDPR, never sold, and never used to train an AI model: not ours, and certainly not anyone else's.
  • A non-profit that answers to families. SENguru is a community interest company: no ads, no data-harvesting, no investors to enrich. Just families and the children they're fighting for.
ChatGPT
  • It has never read the SEND Code of Practice. A general-purpose model with no grounding in UK SEND law will confidently make up rights, timescales and legal tests that simply don't exist, and you won't know which parts are wrong.
  • It ships your child's data to Silicon Valley. Everything you paste in (diagnoses, reports, your child's name) is uploaded to OpenAI in the US, outside UK data-protection law, where your conversations can be used to train the next version of ChatGPT.
  • You are not the customer. OpenAI is a US tech giant racing for scale and investor returns, not a service built for a parent in a SEND crisis. Your family's most sensitive moments are just more training data.
