SENSOL / LONDON · EST. 2026 AI-NATIVE · SEND · RESEARCH & SOFTWARE

£10 billion spent
on SEND. Zero
evidence of what
actually works.

We are building the research, the platform, and the agentic AI to change that. Safe by design. Evidence by default. Built for the 638,745 children who deserve better than paperwork.

01  The Crisis

This is not a funding problem.
It is an evidence problem.

01 · SPEND
£10.54B
Annual high-needs spending across England. Not a single structured dataset connects this money to whether children's lives improve.
DfE High Needs Block 2024/25
02 · DELAY
53.6%
Over half of new EHCPs miss the statutory 20-week deadline. At the worst councils, on-time issuance drops to 1%. Children wait months or years for support.
DfE SEN2 2025 Release
03 · LITIGATION
£153M
22,276 tribunal cases in 2024. A 43% surge. Councils lost 99% of those that reached a hearing. These are not close calls - they are plans that never should have been issued.
HMCTS Tribunal Statistics 2024 · IPSEA
04 · REFORM
£6B
Conditional deficit relief. Councils must now submit reform plans that demonstrate how outcomes for children will improve. Not efficiency. Outcomes.
DfE February 2026 Announcement
"The UK spends more on SEND than almost any comparable system. The issue is that nobody knows whether the money translates into better lives for children." — The evidence gap Sensol exists to close
02  Product

Research, software, and agentic AI
designed around one question.

Does the support in this child's plan actually improve their life? Everything we build exists to answer that - from intake, through drafting, to the outcomes dataset that has never existed.

RAG architecture Golden-thread validation Outcomes tracking Parent portal Multi-agency orchestration Children's Code compliant
01 · INTAKE

Professional reports flow in

EP assessments, medical reports, parental statements. Our AI extracts and structures the clinical findings automatically - no retyping, no lost context.

02 · DRAFT

Personalised drafts, not generic outputs

RAG architecture retrieves relevant case law and guidance at generation time. No child data touches the model. Every statement sourced and cited.

03 · VALIDATE

The golden thread, validated

Graph-based algorithms check that needs connect to outcomes connect to provision. Vague language gets flagged before it becomes a tribunal case.

04 · LEARN

Outcomes tracked across years

Annual reviews feed structured data back in. Over time the platform answers, for the first time, which provisions produce results and which do not.

03  Why Sensol

Three things no existing
SEND tool does.

Dataset

The outcomes dataset that does not exist yet

No platform in the UK links specific SEND provisions to whether children actually improve. We are building that dataset. The White Paper now requires councils to prove outcomes to access £6 billion in funding. This is not a feature - it is infrastructure they need by law.

£6BFunding conditional on outcomes evidence
Transparency

Families see what is happening for the first time

Every existing tool faces the council only. Our portal gives families real-time visibility into plan progress, plain-English explanations, and provision status. The adversarial dynamic that drives £153M in tribunal costs starts with information asymmetry.

Safety

AI safety built into the engineering, not the policy page

We process children's disability data. Our middleware enforces the ICO Children's Code at the technical layer: purpose-coded data tagging, algorithmic transparency records for every AI output, and automated screening that prevents the AI from disadvantaging the child it serves.

05  Research & Writing

What we are thinking about,
investigating, and building.

Working papers and briefings on SEND policy, AI in public services, and the evidence gaps we exist to fill.

Policy · Forthcoming
WP-01 · 2026

The White Paper rewrote the SEND market in one afternoon

"Every Child Achieving and Thriving" introduces ISPs, retains EHCPs, and ties £6B in deficit relief to outcomes evidence. What this means for councils, schools, and companies like ours.

Research · Forthcoming
WP-02 · 2026

638,745 plans and no one asked if they worked

Castro-Kemp et al. found that most EHCP outcomes are not functional. Ahad's review found no systematic tracking of provision effectiveness. The gap is not accidental, it is structural.

WP-03 · 2026

What "safe AI" actually means when you process children's disability data

Everyone claims privacy by design. We explain what that looks like at the engineering layer: purpose-coded tagging, transparency records, and detrimental-use screening on every output.

06  Talk To Us

We are looking for pilot councils, co-design partners, and investors who think the SEND system deserves better evidence.

Whether you work in a SEND team, run a school, care for a child with SEND, or invest in companies that solve hard problems - Sensol is pre-launch and we want to hear from you.
