PROVISION AND SUPPORT PLANNING

Turn Reviewed EvidenceInto Clear, Accountable Support.

Bring learner strengths, needs, outcomes, reasonable adjustments, classroom strategies, provision, responsibilities and review dates into one connected support-planning workflow.

EdiWay helps SENCOs, teachers, families, learners and authorised professionals work around a clearer plan - while keeping SEND identification, statutory decisions and professional judgement with appropriately authorised people.

A CONNECTED SUPPORT MODEL

From EvidenceTo an Agreed Educational Response.

Useful support planning begins with evidence. That evidence may come from academic assessment, classroom observations, educational screening, learner voice, family contributions or authorised professional input.

EdiWay helps schools organise what happens after that evidence has been reviewed. 

Understand the Current Position

Bring together appropriate strengths, barriers and relevant educational evidence.

Agree Outcomes

Define what the school and learner are working towards.

Plan Support

Record strategies, adjustments, provision and responsibilities.

Put Support Into Practice

Make appropriate information available to the staff expected to act on it.

Review

Consider what was delivered, what changed and what the learner says about the support.

Update

Revise the plan without losing the history behind earlier decisions.

The platform supports the process around professional decision-making. It does not make the SEND decision on behalf of the school.

THE GRADUATED APPROACH

Assess. Plan. Do. Review.Keep Each Stage Connected.

EdiWay can support an Assess, Plan, Do, Review-style graduated approach by keeping evidence, agreed actions and review history within the learner journey.

Assess

Understand the learner’s strengths, barriers and current educational context.

Plan

Agree outcomes, strategies, provision, responsibilities and a review point.

Do

Make the agreed support available to the people responsible for delivering it.

Review

Consider current evidence and whether the support remains appropriate.

Update

Record the authorised next step. Each stage should answer a different question.

ASSESS

Build the Starting Picture.Use More Than One Piece of Evidence.

The Assess stage should help the responsible school team understand the learner before deciding what support to put in place.

Learner Strengths

Keep capabilities, interests and successful approaches visible.

Academic Evidence

Connect relevant attainment and progress information.

Teacher Observation

Include appropriate classroom evidence.

Learner Voice

Ask what the learner finds helpful, difficult or important.

Learner Voice

Ask what the learner finds helpful, difficult or important.

Parent and Carer Evidence

Include relevant knowledge from home.

Existing Strategies

Identify what has already been tried.

Attendance and Participation

Consider relevant permitted school context without assuming cause.

Professional Evidence

Include authorised external contributions where a defined relationship exists.

Missing Information

Make gaps and uncertainty visible. 

Assessment within the graduated approach is educational evidence gathering and review. It should not be confused with clinical diagnosis.

PLAN

Make the Support Explicit.Give Every Action a Purpose.

Once evidence has been reviewed, the plan should explain what the school intends to do and why.

Priority Need or Barrier

Describe the educational issue being addressed.

Strengths

Keep the learner’s capabilities central to the plan.

Outcome

Define the intended educational change or improvement.

Strategies

Record the teaching or support approaches agreed.

Reasonable Adjustments

Maintain appropriate adjustments to environment, communication, learning or participation.

Provision

Describe the support the school intends to provide.

Frequency

Record how often relevant support is expected where appropriate.

Responsibility

Identify who is expected to deliver or coordinate each action.

Learner Contribution

Include the learner’s view and priorities.

Family Contribution

Record relevant parent and carer input.

Review Date

Agree when the plan will be reconsidered. A useful plan should make it possible for authorised staff to understand:

DO

Put the PlanInto Everyday Practice.

A support plan only becomes meaningful when the people responsible for delivery can understand what has been agreed.

Classroom Strategies

Make approved teaching strategies available to relevant staff.

Reasonable Adjustments

Surface current adjustments in the appropriate teaching context.

Provision

Connect agreed support to the responsible team.

Resources

Link useful learning or support material where appropriate.

Staff Responsibility

Make ownership clear.

Learner Participation

Keep agreed learner actions visible where suitable.

Family Actions

Record appropriate agreed family activity without turning parents and carers into school staff.

Professional Actions

Connect relevant work from authorised practitioners.

Intervention

Move structured programmes of support into the dedicated intervention workflow where required.

The support plan defines the agreed response. Detailed intervention sessions, delivery and impact review belong within Intervention Support and Impact Review.

REVIEW

Ask What Changed.Ask Whether the Plan Still Fits.

Review should bring together current evidence rather than automatically conclude that a plan has succeeded or failed.

Outcome Progress

Consider evidence against the intended outcome.

Learner View

Ask whether the learner feels the support is useful.

Teacher Evidence

Review current classroom experience.

Family Evidence

Consider relevant parent and carer observations.

Provision Delivery

Check whether the agreed support actually took place.

Intervention Evidence

Use appropriate information from structured interventions.

Academic Progress

Review relevant attainment evidence where meaningful.

Attendance and Participation

Consider suitable contextual information.

Professional Contribution

Include current authorised professional evidence.

Missing Evidence

Make incomplete delivery or review information visible.

Decision

Allow the authorised team to agree the next step. 

Review may result in support continuing, changing, reducing, increasing or moving into another authorised process. The platform should not make that decision automatically.

SEN SUPPORT PLANS

Keep the Current PlanClear and Usable.

A learner’s school support plan should provide a practical view of the support currently agreed.

Learner Profile

Connect strengths, communication preferences and current educational context.

Priority Areas

Record the relevant educational needs or barriers being addressed.

Outcomes

Define what the support is intended to help the learner achieve.

Strategies

Describe what staff should do.

Adjustments

Maintain agreed reasonable adjustments.

Provision

Record the support planned by the school.

Responsible People

Identify ownership.

Review Dates

Keep the next review point visible.

Learner Voice

Include the learner’s perspective.

Family Views

Preserve appropriate parent and carer contributions.

Professional Advice

Connect authorised recommendations without erasing their source.

History

Retain earlier plans and reviews. 

A support plan should show the current approved position without silently deleting how the school arrived there.

PROVISION MAPPING

Know What Support Is Planned.Know Who It Is For.

Provision mapping can help schools understand the support being made available to learners and groups.

EdiWay can connect provision to the relevant learner, purpose, staff responsibility and review context.

Provision Type

Describe the support being provided.

Intended Purpose

Explain which educational outcome or barrier it relates to.

Learner or Group

Identify who the provision is for.

Responsible Staff

Record who coordinates or delivers it.

Frequency

Maintain an appropriate planned delivery pattern.

Duration

Record the relevant support period where applicable.

Setting

Identify whether provision takes place in class, individually, in a group or another configured context.

Start and Review Dates

Make the provision time-aware.

Related Outcome

Connect it to the learner’s intended support outcome.

Evidence

Link appropriate review information. 

Provision mapping should make support clearer. It should not turn every learner receiving additional classroom help into a formal SEND conclusion.

UNIVERSAL, TARGETED AND INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT

Describe the SupportWithout Flattening the Differences.

Schools may provide support at different levels and through different educational approaches. Where configured, EdiWay can help distinguish those contexts.

Inclusive Classroom Practice

Record strategies available as part of ordinary teaching and inclusion.

Reasonable Adjustments

Maintain learner-specific agreed changes where appropriate.

Targeted Support

Record additional support for an identified educational purpose.

Group Provision

Connect support to a defined group where appropriate.

Individual Provision

Maintain learner-specific support.

Specialist Advice

Connect approved professional recommendations.

Structured Interventions

Move programme-based support into the intervention workflow.

EHC Plan Provision

Keep school-held EHC plan provision appropriately connected to the separate EHC evidence workflow. 

The support level should reflect the school’s reviewed educational process rather than an automatic platform classification.

REASONABLE ADJUSTMENTS

Make Agreed AdjustmentsEasier to Apply Consistently.

Where the school has agreed a reasonable adjustment, the people responsible for supporting the learner need to know what is expected.

Adjustment

Describe the practical change.

Barrier

Record the educational or participation barrier being addressed.

Context

Identify where the adjustment applies.

Start Date

Keep the effective period clear.

Review Date

Set an appropriate point for reconsideration.

Responsible Staff

Make delivery ownership visible.

Learner View

Include relevant learner feedback.

Evidence

Connect suitable supporting information.

Status

Distinguish current, reviewed and historical adjustments.

Classroom Visibility

Make relevant information available to authorised teaching staff.

Sensitive Evidence

Keep underlying specialist information restricted where appropriate. 

EdiWay can organise agreed adjustments. It does not independently determine what adjustment is legally required in an individual case.

CLASSROOM STRATEGIES

Put the Practical InformationWhere Teachers Need It.

Teachers should not have to read a complete SEND case history to understand how to support a learner in the classroom.

The provision plan can surface approved strategies such as:

Communication

How should information or instructions be presented?

Processing Time

Does the learner benefit from additional time before responding?

Task Structure

Should activities be broken into smaller stages?

Visual Support

Are prompts, models or visual routines helpful?

Sensory Environment

Are there agreed environmental considerations?

Transitions

What helps the learner move between activities?

Organisation

Which prompts or structures support independence?

Literacy

What teaching approaches support access to written information?

Recording Work

Are there agreed alternatives or adjustments?

Regulation

What approved strategies help the learner participate? 

Teachers need actionable strategies. They do not automatically need confidential diagnostic, medical or professional evidence behind every strategy.

OUTCOMES

Define What the SupportIs Intended to Change.

A provision plan becomes easier to review when the intended outcome is clear.

Learner-Centred Outcome

Describe the change from the learner’s perspective where appropriate.

Educational Purpose

Keep the outcome connected to learning, participation, communication, independence or another relevant goal.

Starting Position

Record suitable evidence describing the current position.

Success Criteria

Explain what evidence may show progress.

Review Period

Set a realistic timeframe.

Responsible People

Identify who will contribute to the outcome.

Learner Voice

Include what matters to the learner.

Family Perspective

Preserve relevant parent and carer priorities.

Professional Context

Connect authorised specialist recommendations where useful.

Review Evidence

Use later information to support human judgement. 

An outcome should guide support. It should not become a rigid prediction about what the learner must achieve.

TARGETS AND SHORTER-TERM STEPS

Break Wider OutcomesInto Useful Next Steps.

Some outcomes may require smaller, reviewable steps.

Current Position

Start from the evidence available now.

Target

Describe a clear educational next step.

Success Criteria

Explain what staff will look for.

Strategy

Connect the target to appropriate teaching or support.

Responsible Person

Make ownership visible.

Review Date

What helps the learner move between activities?

Set the next review point.

Set the next review point.

Evidence

Connect appropriate classroom or intervention information.

Learner Feedback

Include the learner’s own view where suitable.

Outcome

Record what was observed at review.

Targets should support the learner’s progress. They should not automatically become proof that provision has succeeded or failed.

PROVISION RESPONSIBILITY

Make Ownership Clear.Reduce Support That Exists Only on Paper.

Every significant action in a support plan should have an appropriate owner.

SENCO

Coordinate the wider school SEND process where appropriate.

Teacher

Apply relevant classroom strategies and contribute evidence.

Teaching Assistant

Deliver assigned support within the defined role.

Pastoral Staff

Complete appropriate support activity where relevant.

Intervention Lead

Coordinate structured intervention delivery.

School Leader

Provide authorised oversight where required.

Parent or Carer

Contribute agreed family actions without being treated as a school employee.

Learner

Participate in suitable actions and reviews.

Authorised Professional

Contribute defined specialist work or evidence. 

Responsibility should describe who is expected to act. It should not provide broader access than that person requires.

PROVISION COST CONTEXT

Understand Resource Use.Do Not Reduce Support to Cost.

Where configured, schools may need to understand the resource context around SEND provision.

Provision

Identify the relevant support.

Staff Time

Record appropriate delivery context where supported.

Frequency

Understand the planned pattern.

Duration

Maintain the relevant time period.

Group Size

Keep individual and group delivery distinguishable.

Cost Context

Connect suitable school-held cost information where available.

Review

Consider cost alongside delivery and learner evidence.

Reporting

Allow authorised users to review provision-resource information. 

Cost can help schools understand resource deployment. It should not decide whether a learner deserves support or whether provision is educationally appropriate.

PLAN HISTORY

Keep Earlier DecisionsUnderstandable.

Support plans change over time. The learner journey should preserve what the school understood and agreed at each point.

Previous Plan

Retain appropriate earlier versions.

Review Date

Keep the historical time context.

Outcomes

Preserve the outcomes that applied during that period.

Strategies

Record which support was current at the time.

Provision

Maintain the historical provision context.

Contributors

Preserve who participated in the review.

Review Evidence

Keep suitable supporting information.

Decision

Record why support continued or changed where appropriate.

Superseded Information

Make clear that an earlier strategy is no longer current. 

Historical plans provide useful context. They should not continue appearing as current classroom instructions after they have been replaced.

SEND STATUS AND SCHOOL RECORDS

Keep Status Explicit.Do Not Let a Workflow Decide It.

Schools may maintain a current SEND or SEN-support status as part of their learner records. EdiWay can help authorised users keep that information connected to the wider support journey.

Current Status

Maintain the school’s authorised current record.

Areas of Need

Record appropriate school-held educational categories where required.

Start Date

Preserve when the status became applicable.

Review

Connect status to the relevant human-led school process.

Supporting Evidence

Maintain the appropriate evidence separately.

Historical Status

Preserve earlier school-held context.

Change

Record an authorised update without rewriting historical information.

Permissions

Limit status management to appropriate roles. 

Completing an educational screening, creating a target or assigning an intervention should not automatically change a learner’s SEND status.

AREAS OF NEED

Organise Educational Context.
Avoid Reducing the Learner to a Category.

Where schools maintain areas-of-need information, EdiWay can connect that classification to a broader strengths-based learner record.

Communication and Interaction

Maintain relevant school-held educational context.

Primary and Additional Context

Support the school’s appropriate recording structure where configured.

Social, Emotional and Mental Health

Connect authorised educational support context.

Sensory or Physical

Maintain relevant school-held support information.

Cognition and Learning

Record appropriate learning-related information.

Strengths

Keep learner capabilities visible alongside need information.

Strategies

Connect practical classroom support.

Provision

Link relevant agreed support.

Review

Allow authorised staff to reconsider the current school-held record. 

An area-of-need category can help organise support. It should not replace the learner’s individual evidence or professional judgement.

LEARNER VOICE

Plan With the Learner.Not Only Around Them.

Where appropriate, the learner should be able to contribute to their own support planning.

Strengths

What does the learner feel is going well?

What Is Difficult

What barriers do they want adults to understand?

What Helps

Which strategies or environments work best for them?

Goals

What would they like to achieve?

Communication

How do they prefer adults to involve them?

Classroom Support

Which adjustments do they find useful?

Review Feedback

Do they feel the current plan is helping?

Priorities

What matters most to them now? 

Learner voice should be gathered in a way appropriate to age, communication, capacity and context.

PARENT AND CARER PARTICIPATION

Bring Family KnowledgeInto the Review.

Parents and carers may hold important information about the learner’s strengths, challenges, communication, sensory context and experience outside school.

EdiWay can provide controlled routes for that contribution.

Parent and Carer Views

Invite relevant observations.

Strengths

Record what families see working well.

Priorities

Capture family concerns and aspirations.

Strategies

Include approaches that appear helpful at home.

Review Preparation

Invite contributions before an APDR-style review.

Evidence

Allow appropriate supporting information where enabled.

Agreed Actions

Record relevant family actions separately from school responsibilities.

Communication

Share approved support-plan information.

Review Feedback

Capture the family’s view of current support.

Source

Keep family evidence clearly attributed. 

Family participation strengthens the review. A parent or carer contribution does not automatically become the school’s professional judgement.

PROFESSIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS

Connect Specialist Advice.Keep Its Source and Scope Clear.

Authorised professionals may contribute evidence or recommendations relevant to the learner’s support plan.

Defined Relationship

Connect the practitioner to the appropriate learner and purpose.

Professional Evidence

Preserve the source of reports and observations.

Recommendations

Record relevant advice for authorised school review.

Outcome Contribution

Use appropriate professional input when considering learner outcomes.

Strategies

Translate approved recommendations into classroom-useful information.

Meetings

Connect relevant review activity where enabled.

Actions

Record follow-up responsibility.

Expiry

Review professional access when involvement ends.

School Decision

Keep the school’s authorised support-plan decision distinct from the professional’s original contribution.

Professional advice can inform a plan. It should not silently rewrite the school record.

SUPPORT PLAN MEETINGS

Keep the ConversationConnected to the Plan.

Review meetings often generate actions, new evidence and updated decisions. EdiWay can help connect that activity to the learner’s support record.

Meeting Purpose

Make clear which plan or review is being discussed.

Participants

Record appropriate attendees.

Learner Participation

Include the learner where appropriate.

Parent and Carer Participation

Record relevant family involvement.

Professional Participation

Connect authorised practitioners.

Evidence Reviewed

Identify the information considered.

Decisions

Record the authorised outcome of the meeting.

Actions

Assign follow-up activity.

Deadlines

Keep review actions time-aware.

Updated Plan

Connect agreed changes to the next support plan version. 

Meeting notes support the process. They do not replace the approved support plan.

FROM SUPPORT PLAN TO INTERVENTION

Define the Need Here.Track Delivery There.

Some provisions consist of a structured intervention with planned sessions, assigned staff, and measurable review points.

That deeper delivery workflow belongs in Intervention Support and Impact Review.

Support Plan

Explains why the support is required.

Intended Outcome

Defines what the school hopes to achieve.

Intervention

Identifies the structured support being used.

Baseline

Records a relevant starting position.

Delivery Schedule

Belongs to the intervention workflow.

Session Records

Belong to the intervention workflow.

Delivery Evidence

Shows what actually took place.

Impact Review

Considers later evidence.

Support Review

Uses the intervention evidence when deciding what happens next.

The support plan and intervention should connect. They should not become duplicate records.

INTERVENTION BOUNDARY

Provision Is the Commitment.Intervention Is the Delivery Workflow.

The two concepts are related but different.

Provision

Describes the support the learner is expected to receive.

Intervention

A structured programme or activity used to deliver part of that support.

Provision Review

Asks whether the learner’s overall support remains appropriate.

Intervention Review

Asks what was delivered and what evidence is available afterwards.

Plan Owner

Coordinates the learner’s wider support.

Intervention Owner

Coordinates the specific programme.

Evidence

Can flow between the two through authorised review.

Evidence

Can flow between the two through authorised review.

Outcome

Remains subject to human interpretation.

An intervention ending does not automatically end a learner’s wider support plan.

ACADEMIC EVIDENCE AND SUPPORT PLANNING

Use Attainment as Evidence.Do Not Turn It Into Diagnosis.

Academic assessment may help staff understand learning progress and identify areas requiring additional support.

Baseline Information

Connect relevant assessment evidence.

Subject Progress

Review appropriate academic history.

Teacher Judgement

Include relevant professional context.

Learning Barriers

Describe what is being observed.

Support Outcome

Connect academic evidence to an educational goal where appropriate.

Later Review

Use future assessment as one part of the evidence.

Data Limitations

Make missing or incomparable assessment information visible.

Human Interpretation

Keep the decision with authorised staff. 

A low assessment result does not automatically mean SEND. A high result does not rule SEND out.

EDUCATIONAL SCREENING AND SUPPORT PLANS

Move From IndicatorsTo a Considered Response.

Reviewed educational profiles may contribute evidence to support planning.

Literacy Evidence

Use relevant reviewed educational indicators.

Communication Profile

Connect appropriate communication needs and strategies.

Sensory Context

Include approved environmental support information.

Learning Context

Use teacher observations appropriately.

Learner Strengths

Bring strengths into the support plan.

Family Evidence

Preserve relevant family contributions.

Professional Evidence

Connect authorised specialist input.

Strategies

Translate reviewed evidence into practical actions.

Review

Consider later evidence before deciding whether support should change.

Screening evidence can inform planning. It should not automatically create the plan.

EHC PLAN BOUNDARY

Connect the School Support Journey.
Keep Statutory Decisions Separate.

Some learners receiving school SEND support may also have an EHC plan.

EdiWay can connect relevant school-held provision and outcome information without treating the school support plan as the statutory plan itself.

School Support Plan

Records the school’s current educational support workflow.

EHC Plan Record

Maintains appropriate school-held statutory-plan information.

Outcomes

Connect relevant educational outcomes where authorised.

Provision

Keep EHC plan provision identifiable from school-added support.

Annual Review

Use the dedicated review workflow.

Learner and Family Views

Connect suitable contributions.

Professional Evidence

Preserve source and authority.

Statutory Decision

Remain with the responsible local authority and authorised process. 

EdiWay does not issue, amend or determine entitlement to an EHC plan.

WELLBEING AND PASTORAL BOUNDARY

Connect Relevant Context.Keep Support Domains Clear.

Wellbeing or pastoral evidence may be relevant to SEND planning. That does not mean every pastoral record belongs inside the SEND plan.

Educational Need

Keep SEND support focused on the learner’s educational participation and needs.

Wellbeing Context

Use relevant permitted information where it supports review.

Pastoral Support

Maintain the detailed pastoral record in its own workflow.

SEMH

Connect appropriate educational context without turning school evidence into clinical diagnosis.

Learner Voice

Include relevant learner experience.

Family Context

Use approved family information.

Safeguarding

Keep safeguarding concerns and chronology separately controlled.

Review

Allow authorised staff to consider the wider context. 

Connected support should reduce fragmentation without collapsing different professional responsibilities into one record.

SAFEGUARDING BOUNDARY

SEND Support Is NotA Safeguarding Finding.

A learner may have both SEND and safeguarding needs. Those information domains require different purposes and permissions.

SEND Plan

Supports educational provision and review.

Safeguarding Concern

Belongs within the controlled safeguarding workflow.

Classroom Strategy

Can be shared with appropriate teaching staff.

Safeguarding Chronology

Remains restricted to authorised safeguarding users.

Referral

Requires the appropriate human-led safeguarding process.

Information Sharing

Should remain proportionate to purpose.

Professional Judgement

Keep safeguarding decisions with trained authorised staff. 

A SEND need does not establish a safeguarding concern. A safeguarding concern does not automatically establish SEND.

SUPPORT ACROSS TRANSITION

Carry Forward What Helps.Review What Still Applies.

A learner’s support needs may continue when they move class, phase or setting.

The plan should support continuity without assuming every earlier strategy remains current forever.

New Class

Make current approved strategies available to responsible staff.

New Academic Year

Review outcomes and support before simply copying the previous plan.

Primary to Secondary

Prepare appropriate reviewed transition information.

Post-16

Connect support with learner aspirations and progression.

New School

Select appropriate evidence for the receiving setting.

Alternative Provision

Maintain the responsible-school and placement context.

EOTAS

Keep relevant support connected to the appropriate pathway.

Adult Transition

Support movement towards learner-controlled continuity where enabled.

Access Review

Reconsider family, staff and professional permissions when relationships change.

SUPPORT PLAN DATA QUALITY

Make Incomplete Plans Visible.
Do Not Confuse a Form With Good Support.

A plan can look complete while important information is missing. EdiWay can help authorised staff identify gaps.

Missing Outcome

Show when support has no clearly defined intended result.

Missing Responsibility

Identify actions without an owner.

Missing Review Date

Surface plans without a future review point.

Incomplete Provision

Show where delivery information is unclear.

Missing Learner Voice

Identify where the learner’s perspective has not yet been captured when appropriate.

Missing Family Contribution

Make outstanding requested evidence visible.

Overdue Review

Identify plans that need reconsideration.

Outdated Strategy

Surface information that may no longer be current.

Conflicting Information

Keep differences between sources visible.

Unknown

Preserve uncertainty rather than converting it into a definitive answer. 

Completing every field is not the same as providing appropriate support. Data quality helps authorised people ask better questions.

OVERDUE REVIEWS AND ACTIONS

Keep Support Moving.Make Outstanding Work Visible.

Support can drift when review dates and responsibilities are hidden across separate documents. EdiWay can help authorised users identify:

Reviews Due

Plans approaching their review point.

Overdue Reviews

Plans requiring authorised attention.

Outstanding Actions

Tasks that have not been completed.

Missing Evidence

Information requested but not yet received.

Unassigned Actions

Support activity without a clear owner.

Intervention Reviews

Structured support requiring separate review.

Family Requests

Contributions still awaiting response.

Professional Contributions

Evidence expected from an authorised practitioner.

Plan Update

Reviews are completed but not yet reflected in the current plan. 

Notifications and reminders can support administration. They do not determine the outcome of the review.

SEND LEADERSHIP OVERSIGHT

Understand the Support Picture.Keep Learner Detail Protected.

Authorised SENCOs and leaders may need to understand the school’s current support activity.

Learners Receiving Support

Review an appropriately defined population.

Current Support Status

Understand school-held SEND context.

Plans Due for Review

Identify upcoming workload.

Overdue Reviews

Find areas requiring action.

Provision

Review planned support by appropriate categories.

Interventions

Connect to relevant delivery and review information.

Outcomes

Understand the status of reviewed learner outcomes.

Data Gaps

Identify incomplete plans or missing evidence.

Responsibility

See where actions remain unassigned or overdue.

Cohort Context

Use aggregate information carefully. 

Leadership reporting should support better coordination. It should not expose confidential learner information unnecessarily or rank learners by need.

PROVISION REPORTING

Understand What Is Planned.Keep the Definition Clear.

Provision reporting should make the underlying population and time period explicit.

Learner Provision

Review support connected to an authorised learner.

Provision Type

Understand the support being planned.

Responsible Team

Review appropriately assigned delivery responsibility.

Frequency

See the planned support pattern.

Review Period

Keep dates explicit.

Outcome Connection

Understand which learner outcomes the provision supports.

Delivery Connection

Link to intervention evidence where relevant.

Missing Information

Identify provision without sufficient context.

Cost Context

Include suitable resource information where configured.

Drill-Through

Allow authorised users to inspect the underlying plan. 

Provision totals should describe recorded support. They should not imply that more provision automatically means better provision.

ROLE-SPECIFIC SUPPORT PLANNING

One Learner Plan.

SENCOs

Coordinate evidence, plans, provision and review.

Teachers

Contribute classroom evidence and apply approved strategies.

Teaching Assistants

Access relevant support actions within their assigned role.

School Leaders

Use authorised oversight without assuming access to every sensitive detail.

Pastoral Teams

Contribute relevant support context where appropriate.

Parents and Carers

Participate through approved family workflows.

Learners

Contribute age-appropriate views, goals and feedback.

Authorised Professionals

Provide scoped evidence or recommendations.

PERMISSION-AWARE SUPPORT PLANNING

Share What Helps.Protect What Does Not Need to Be Shared.

SEND information can contain sensitive educational and professional evidence. EdiWay can separate the visibility of the plan from the visibility of its underlying sources.

School Scope

Keep the record within the appropriate organisation.

Learner Scope

Limit access to relevant learners.

Role Scope

Differentiate teaching, SENCO, leadership and support-team permissions.

Contribution Scope

Allow a user to submit evidence without automatically seeing all other evidence.

Strategy Scope

Make classroom-useful information available to appropriate teachers.

Review Scope

Restrict plan approval and SEND decisions to authorised users.

Family Scope

Share approved information with the relevant parent or carer relationship.

Professional Scope

Limit practitioners to the defined purpose and learner relationship.

Time Scope

Review access as classes, roles and professional relationships change.

Action Scope

Distinguish viewing, contributing, editing, approving and sharing. 

Teachers may need the strategy. SENCOs may need the evidence. External professionals may need only the specific information required for their involvement.

SOURCE AND OWNERSHIP

Know Who Contributed What.Preserve the Authority of the Record.

Support planning may combine evidence from several people. EdiWay should preserve the origin of that information.

School Assessment

Professional educational evidence created by school staff.

Teacher Evidence

Classroom observations and teaching context.

Learner Voice

The learner’s own perspective.

Parent and Carer Evidence

Family-origin observations and priorities.

Professional Evidence

Information created by authorised external practitioners.

Statutory Information

Documents or decisions originating from the responsible statutory body.

Imported Information

Records brought from another system.

Shared Evidence

Information deliberately shared for a defined purpose. 

Connecting evidence should not silently convert a parent observation into a school finding or a professional recommendation into a statutory decision.

GOVERNED AI FOR SUPPORT PLANNING

Help Prepare the Draft.Keep the Plan Human-Led.

Where enabled, EdiWay AI can help authorised users organise permitted evidence into working drafts.

Support-Plan Drafts

Prepare an initial structure from selected reviewed evidence.

Strengths Summary

Organise learner strengths and successful strategies.

Evidence Summary

Prepare a source-aware overview before review.

Outcome Drafting

Help staff phrase possible educational outcomes for human consideration.

Review Preparation

Summarise selected permitted evidence.

Family-Friendly Wording

Prepare clearer draft communication.

Meeting Preparation

Help organise questions, evidence and actions.

Missing Information

Highlight evidence or fields requiring human attention.

Strategy Summary

Organise approved classroom-support information. 

EdiWay AI does not:

Every AI output remains a draft. An authorised person must review the sources, proposed wording, educational appropriateness and final action.

A CONNECTED PROVISION WORKFLOW

From Reviewed EvidenceTo Accountable Support.

1. Gather the Evidence

Bring together appropriate academic, classroom, screening, learner, family and professional information.

2. Review the Current Position

Allow authorised staff to consider strengths, barriers and existing support.

3. Agree the Outcome

Define what the learner and school are working towards.

4. Plan the Support

Record strategies, reasonable adjustments, provision and responsibilities.

5. Make It Usable

Surface appropriate support information to the staff expected to act.

6. Deliver

Provide the agreed classroom support or connect structured activity into the intervention workflow.

7. Gather Review Evidence

Bring together learner, teacher, family, assessment and intervention information.

8. Review

Consider whether the plan remains appropriate.

9. Update

Record the authorised next step and preserve the earlier plan.

10. Continue or Transition

Carry forward only the appropriate current support when the learner’s context changes.

WHY CONNECTED PROVISION PLANNING MATTERS

Make Support Easier to Understand.
Make Responsibility Harder to Lose.

When SEND plans, adjustments and provision sit across spreadsheets, documents, emails and separate specialist systems, schools may need to work out:

EdiWay keeps planning, provision, evidence and review closer to the learner journey while preserving the responsibilities and information boundaries around SEND. The aim is not more paperwork. It is clearer support, clearer ownership and better continuity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Provision and Support Planning

What is SEND provision mapping?

Provision mapping is a structured way to record the support being planned or provided for learners or groups, including its purpose, responsibility, frequency and review context.

EdiWay can connect that information to the learner’s wider support journey.

Does EdiWay support Assess, Plan, Do, Review?

EdiWay is designed to support APDR-style graduated-approach workflows connecting evidence, planning, delivery and review.

The responsible school staff remain accountable for the educational decisions made through that process.

Can EdiWay create SEN support plans?

EdiWay can help authorised staff organise school support plans containing outcomes, strategies, adjustments, provision, responsibilities and review information.

Does creating a support plan automatically put a learner on the SEND register?

No.

Creating a screening, plan, target or intervention should not automatically determine the learner’s SEND status.

That remains an authorised school decision.

Can teachers see SEND support plans?

Teachers may see the classroom strategies, adjustments and information relevant to learners they are authorised to support.

They do not automatically need access to every specialist assessment or confidential contribution behind the plan.

Can teaching assistants see provision information?

Access can be provided according to their current learner and support responsibilities.

It should remain limited to the information required for that role.

Can schools record reasonable adjustments?

Yes.

EdiWay can organise agreed adjustments, purpose, context, responsibility, effective dates and review information.

The platform does not independently determine the legal adjustment required.

Can support plans include learner voice?

Yes.

Learner strengths, goals, preferences, barriers and review feedback can be included through appropriate workflows.

Can parents and carers contribute to the plan?

Linked parents and carers can contribute through approved workflows where enabled.

Their contribution should remain separately attributed rather than silently becoming school-authored evidence.

Can external professionals contribute?

Authorised professionals may provide evidence or recommendations through a defined learner-specific relationship where enabled.

Their access should remain purpose-scoped and revocable.

Can EdiWay track provision costs?

Appropriate provision-resource or cost context may be maintained where configured.

Cost should support resource understanding rather than determine whether support is appropriate.

Can EdiWay track whether provision was delivered?

Overall provision can be connected to relevant delivery evidence.

Structured intervention sessions and detailed delivery monitoring belong in the dedicated Intervention Support and Impact Review workflow.

Is provision the same as an intervention?

No.

Provision describes the support intended for the learner.

An intervention is a structured programme or activity that may deliver part of that provision.

Can assessment evidence be connected to a SEND plan?

Yes.

Appropriate academic and educational-profile evidence can contribute to authorised support planning.

Assessment information does not diagnose SEND.

Can screening automatically generate provision?

No.

Screening can contribute evidence.

An authorised person should decide whether additional support, provision or further review is required.

Can EdiWay manage EHC plan provision?

Relevant school-held EHC plan outcomes and provision can be connected through the dedicated EHC Plan Evidence and Annual Reviews workflow.

EdiWay does not issue or amend an EHC plan.

Can support be reviewed over time?

Yes.

Plans can be reviewed as new classroom, academic, learner, family, intervention or professional evidence becomes available.

Can schools preserve previous plans?

Historical support plans and review context can be retained according to permissions and retention requirements.

Earlier plans should remain distinguishable from the current approved plan.

Can SENCOs see overdue reviews?

Authorised SEND users can be supported with views of relevant upcoming or overdue review activity where enabled.

Does EdiWay automatically decide whether provision is effective?

No.

The platform can organise delivery and outcome evidence.

The interpretation remains with authorised people.

Can AI write SEND plans?

Where enabled, governed AI can help prepare a working draft from information the authorised user is permitted to access.

The SENCO or other responsible person must review and approve the final plan.

Can AI choose interventions?

AI may support drafting or consideration where enabled.

It should not autonomously decide which intervention a learner must receive.

Does EdiWay diagnose SEND?

No.

EdiWay supports educational evidence, support planning, provision and review.

Diagnosis remains with appropriately qualified professionals where diagnosis is relevant.

Does using EdiWay make a school SEND compliant?

No software automatically creates organisational compliance.

Schools remain responsible for statutory duties, policies, professional practice, staff training, decision-making and information governance.

Can schools begin with simple support plans?

Schools can begin with relevant available support-planning workflows and connect educational profiles, interventions, professional contributions, EHC evidence and wider reporting as implementation develops.

Availability may depend on configuration, permissions, subscription and controlled rollout.
