For Parents
Does your child qualify for an EHCP?
The EHCP process is designed for professionals, not parents. Pathway levels the playing field with AI-powered legal documents, evidence organisation, and deadline tracking.
A parent using ChatGPT gets a letter. A parent using Pathway gets a legal case.
Legal expertise, built in
Every letter and submission cites the correct legislation — Section 36(8) of the Children and Families Act, the SEND Code of Practice, and your statutory rights. AI guided by UK SEND Code of Practice references.
Evidence, organised
Upload professional reports, keep an evidence diary, and let AI extract the key information. Evidence is automatically categorised by the 4 SEND areas and mapped to EHCP sections.
Deadlines, tracked
The LA has 6 weeks to decide, 20 weeks to issue a plan. Pathway tracks every statutory deadline and sends reminders. If they're late, it helps you draft a chase-up letter.

EHCP Section Builder
Build your EHCP section by section (A-K) with AI guidance, law references, and "Improve with AI" for each section.
"Fix My EHCP" Rewriter
Paste vague provisions from your child's plan. AI rewrites them into specific, quantified, legally enforceable language.
SMART Target Suggestions
AI analyses your evidence and suggests 5-10 SMART targets mapped to the 4 SEND areas.
Evidence Checklist
See exactly which professional reports you need based on your child's diagnoses. Track what you've collected vs what's missing.
Your Local Authority
How does your council really perform?
We track every local authority in England. Search below to see your council's actual EHCP record — the same data our AI uses to strengthen your case.
Data covers 152 local authorities. Source: GOV.UK SEN2 (2024).
Our Unfair Advantage
Built on real data, not guesswork.
Most AI tools generate generic output from generic training data. Pathway is different. We went to the source.
Government data for every council
We ingest official SEN2 statistics published annually by the Department for Education for all 152 local authorities in England. Timeliness rates, caseload figures, refusal patterns, annual review performance — the same data that Ofsted and the Local Government Ombudsman use to hold councils to account.
When Pathway writes your application letter, it doesn't guess. It knows that your LA issued only 23% of plans on time last year, or that your council has 9,000 active EHCPs and is processing 1,400 new requests annually. That context makes your case specific, credible, and harder to dismiss.
Freedom of Information tribunal data
We submitted Freedom of Information (FOI) requests for tribunal outcome data that isn't publicly available in any structured form. Appeal rates, concession patterns, hearing outcomes by local authority — the intelligence that SEND solicitors charge thousands to access.
This data feeds directly into Pathway's AI. When you use the Tribunal Cost Calculator or generate a chase-up letter, the AI draws on real outcome data — not generic legal templates. It can tell you that 98.7% of appeals that reach hearing are decided in the parent's favour, and what that means for your specific situation.

Why Not Just Use ChatGPT?
A parent using ChatGPT gets a letter. A parent using Pathway gets a legal case.
Generic AI (ChatGPT, etc.)
- ✕Hallucinated law references — your letter cites the wrong Act and your Local Authority (LA) notices immediately
- ✕No council data — doesn't know your Local Authority (LA) issued 31% of EHCPs on time vs the 46% national average
- ✕Paste everything every time — no memory, no evidence vault, no progress between sessions
- ✕No deadline tracking — miss the 6-week response window and nobody tells you
- ✕Your child's data trains their model — you have zero control over how it's stored or used
