Statutory Compliance Built In
Supports DfE statutory guidance for looked-after children, including review cycles, designated teacher notifications, and reporting to the Virtual School.
"ePEP has transformed how our Virtual School operates. The quality of PEPs has improved dramatically, and our VSH now has the data to demonstrate impact at every level."

Beyond the Form
ePEP isn't just a digital document — it's a live, intelligent workflow engine
Too many platforms stop at digitising a form. ePEP goes much further. It actively drives the entire education planning process — from the moment a child enters care through to their post-16 transition — ensuring every professional involved has the right information at the right time, and that nothing falls through the cracks.
Timeliness and quality, built in
Automated reminders, review deadlines and completion status dashboards mean PEPs are completed on time, every time — and to a consistently high standard.
Crystal-clear accountability
Every action, approval and contribution is logged against the right stakeholder. No ambiguity. No missed responsibilities. A complete, auditable trail from day one.
Seamless multi-agency communication
Designated Teachers and Social Workers work in the same shared space — no email chains, no version conflicts, no delays. Everyone sees the same live record.
Real data, embedded directly
Attainment, attendance and pupil premium data flow automatically from school MIS into the PEP itself — so reviews are evidence-led, not estimate-based.
Inspection-ready by design
Every interaction is timestamped and stored. When Ofsted or ILAC comes knocking, your Virtual School has a full, exportable audit trail ready in seconds.
Strategic intelligence for Virtual School Heads
Aggregated dashboards give VSHs a real-time picture of outcomes, gaps and trends across every child — empowering them to plan with precision and evidence impact with confidence.
