EHCP Consultation & Placement Tracker
Save time, improve organisation, and streamline your EHCP admissions process with this EHCP Consultation & Placement Tracker, designed specifically for special schools, SEND provisions, and specialist settings.
This Excel-based tracker allows schools to manage consultations from Local Authorities, monitor placement decisions, track tribunal cases, and maintain a clear overview of pupil admissions throughout the consultation process. The workbook includes automated reporting features to reduce administration and improve visibility for school leaders, SENDCos, admissions teams, and administrators.
Most users only need to enter information into the Open Consultations tab. The workbook automatically updates the relevant tracking sheets based on the consultation outcome, helping ensure records remain accurate and up to date.
