Approved readiness

One workspace to record a child's support profile, name the assignment, prepare the worker and evidence every step — deterministic rules, never guesswork.

Worker foundation

Safeguarding, clearance and role basics that follow the worker everywhere.

Setting readiness

This building's safeguarding route, quiet spaces and behaviour approach.

Child-specific readiness

Only what this child's recorded needs actually require — and why.

Support fails at the handover, not the strategy.

The plan usually exists. What is missing is the five minutes before a shift where the adult beside the child learns what actually helps — and what will make the day worse.

A cover worker arrives with no idea a child communicates with signs.

A strategy that works is written down in a folder nobody opens before break.

A profile changes on Tuesday and nobody knows who still needs telling.

The evidence of good practice lives entirely in one person's memory.

A readiness system, not another document library.

Needs-to-Readiness Engine

Deterministic rules turn a child's recorded needs into a named, explainable list of preparation steps. No guesswork, no AI in the decision path.

Minimum-necessary access

Field-level visibility. A temporary worker sees triggers, communication and strategies; full behaviour history stays with the people who need it.

Micro-briefings that fit a corridor

Two-minute briefings written for the moment before the shift, not a policy folder nobody opens.

Knowledge checks and approval

Short confirmation questions, then supervisor sign-off where the risk warrants it — always for agency and temporary staff.

Version-aware re-readiness

When a profile changes materially, affected assignments reopen exactly the steps that changed. Cosmetic edits do not disrupt anyone.

Evidence without paperwork

Every briefing, check, approval and access event is recorded as it happens, ready for inspection and review.

Four steps, one loop, every placement.

Record the child's support profile

Communication, triggers, strategies, sensory needs and critical information — structured, versioned and owned by the SEND Lead.

Name the assignment

A specific worker, a specific child, a specific role and period. Readiness is calculated per assignment, never per worker.

Complete readiness in minutes

The engine generates the requirements, grouped by layer, each with the field that triggered it and the reason it matters.

Access opens, evidence builds

The practical action view unlocks, strategy outcomes are captured in seconds and the whole trail is audited.

Built for the whole team.

SEND Leads

See who is ready, who is blocked and why — across every child in the setting.

Class teachers

Approve readiness for your class and know the adult beside a child is prepared.

Agency workers

Walk in already knowing what matters, instead of learning it the hard way.

School administrators

Manage accounts, placements and setting content in one place.

Testimonials

What our users say

Schools, trusts and support workers on what changed after SENReady.

I open the portal and see instantly who is ready for which child and who is still blocked. That used to be a morning of phone calls.

Briana Patton

SEND Lead, primary school

Setting up a new cover worker takes minutes. The readiness steps generate themselves and every approval is logged in one place.

Bilal Ahmed

School business manager

I walk in already knowing how the child communicates and which strategies work. The briefing takes two minutes on my phone.

Saman Malik

Agency support worker

The audit trail is the part I value most. Every briefing, check and approval is there without anyone keeping a separate spreadsheet.

Omar Raza

Deputy head, safeguarding

When a profile changes materially, the right people are asked to re-read the right sections. Nothing quietly goes out of date.

Zainab Hussain

Class teacher

Each requirement tells me which field triggered it. Explaining our preparation to a visiting inspector took one screen.

Across our settings I can compare readiness in the same language. The three layers make it obvious where the gap actually sits.

Farhan Siddiqui

Trust SEND director

Handovers used to be the weakest part of the day. Now the practical action view tells me what helps before I sit down.

Sana Sheikh

Cover supervisor

Logging what worked takes seconds, and the SEND lead sees it the same day. It finally feels like the notes go somewhere.
