About the Platform

Making a BIG difference, transforming Educational Health Care Plans into living documents

EHCP Online is eGOV Cloud's dedicated module for managing Education, Health and Care Plans — covering every statutory stage from the initial request through needs assessment, plan drafting, issuing, and annual review. Unlike static documents that sit in files until annual review, EHCPs in eGOV Cloud are living documents that can be updated and refined on a daily basis as the child's needs, circumstances and interventions evolve — allowing professionals to respond in real-time to what the child actually needs right now.

A key feature of EHCP Online is its collaborative draft workflow. Working professionals — including SENCOs, social workers, health practitioners and Virtual School staff — can contribute to and review a shared draft EHCP simultaneously, with full version control and role-based editing. This eliminates delays and reduces the time professionals spend coordinating offline, allowing all parties to work together on one live document in real time. The result is faster turnaround, fewer meetings, and quicker early intervention for the child.

Built-in AI-powered quality control automatically reviews draft plans, highlights potential gaps in identified needs, flags areas where intervention intensity may need strengthening, and suggests relevant support strategies based on similar cases and best practice. This intelligent support helps professionals produce higher-quality EHCPs while saving significant time on manual review and quality assurance.

Once all contributors are satisfied, the plan is published with a single action — creating a clear, auditable transition from draft to live. Fully integrated within the eGOV Cloud™ platform, EHCP Online shares the same secure single sign-on, live data feeds and reporting infrastructure as the ePEP — giving Local Authorities and SEN teams a complete, joined-up view of every child's education, health and care needs.
