The Concept
Professional reports (EP, SALT, OT, medical) make recommendations based on assessments. These recommendations should inform what goes into your EHCP — specifically Sections B (needs), E (outcomes), and F (provision).
But not everything makes it in. Sometimes recommendations are weakened. Sometimes they're missing entirely.
You have the right to receive copies of all advice and information gathered during the EHC needs assessment (SEND Code of Practice 9.48). You can compare what was recommended to what appears in the plan.
Example
The OT Report says:
"Beau requires 12 sessions per term of direct occupational therapy across the academic year (36 sessions per year). These will be delivered on a weekly basis for 1 hour."
— Samantha Pearce, Occupational Therapist, p.8
The EHCP says:
"Access to OT support as required"
What's happened:
- Quantity removed (12 sessions/term → not stated)
- Frequency removed (weekly → "as required")
- Duration removed (1 hour → not stated)
What to Look For
Compare your reports to your EHCP:
- Is the specific number or frequency preserved?
- Is the recommendation still there but vaguer?
- Is it missing entirely?
Common patterns:
- "Weekly" becoming "regular"
- "1 hour" becoming "appropriate time"
- Specific hours becoming "as required"
What Aubis Does
AiMapping compares your EHCP against professional reports automatically — line by line, both directions. It shows:
- Which recommendations made it in verbatim
- Which were paraphrased (same meaning, different words)
- Which were weakened (report more specific than EHCP)
- Which are missing entirely
With page numbers from the original reports.
Aubis shows. You decide.
