About — WeaveONE

The origin

The paperwork was the problem.

Every week, thousands of UK practitioners write session notes by hand, retype reports from scratch, and email PDFs to local authorities. EHCPs sit in filing cabinets. Progress is invisible to parents. Outcomes are unmeasurable.

WeaveONE was built from inside that problem — running a real therapy practice, watching reports eat the evenings, and deciding the tools simply didn't exist yet.

The solution had to understand EHCPs natively, write in the practitioner's voice rather than a chatbot's, protect children's data with the same care a practitioner gives their wellbeing — and connect every provider without any of them giving up control of their records.

Ciera's story

The reason WeaveONE exists.

My daughter Ciera is autistic. She was diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and ARFID. Her diagnosis came in Year 9 — late, like so many girls who mask. She developed severe anxiety and a phobia of school after lockdown. She couldn't go back. There was a lengthy hospital stay. Years in the CAMHS system. Meetings where professionals talked about her, not to her.

With an EHCP, Ciera moved to NESCOT in Surrey — their specialist 14–16 provision with a 1:1 SEND worker. She went through various therapies — but what actually helped was being amongst animals. She stayed at NESCOT for three years with a 1:1 teacher, graduating with distinction in animal management, despite never being able to cope in a traditional classroom.

She became a reptile specialist, handling every species and discovering a gift for helping nervous customers connect with animals. That experience became the foundation for everything that followed.

In July 2025, Ciera launched Pets on the Green — her own animal-assisted therapy practice in Warlingham, Surrey. She's getting fully booked each day, running 4–5 sessions daily. She's 19, AAT-qualified, enhanced DBS checked, licensed by Tandridge Council, and she cares for over 40 animals. And she is helping so many kids — many going through the EHCP process themselves.

The other side of the table

What we saw from the inside.

As Ciera's dad, I sat through every meeting, chased every report, and fought for every provision. I saw how the EHCP process punishes parents who don't know the system — and how even the parents who do know it are drowning in paperwork, jargon, and statutory deadlines that nobody explains.

When Ciera started her own practice, I saw the other side too. Therapists spending their evenings writing reports instead of being with their families. Schools buried under spreadsheets tracking provisions nobody can find. Parents getting update letters that say nothing. Everyone working hard — but nothing joined up.

The system isn't broken because people don't care. It's broken because the tools don't exist.
