EHCP Section F aligned delivery

Provision designed against EHCP Section F outcomes from week one. Quarterly evidence packs ready for annual review.

One named placement lead per individual student throughout

A single senior contact for every case. No call centres, no rotating student placement officer.

Compliance by default

Enhanced DBS, safer recruitment files, insurance documentation and incident reporting issued without being asked.

Panel-ready evidence

Progress, attendance and engagement data formatted for SEND panel and tribunal contexts.

Reporting cadence

You will not chase us

Every Parity Education placement runs on the same documented reporting rhythm — designed around the SEND officer's calendar, not ours.

  1. Day 1

    Placement lead assigned. Named senior contact shared with the SEND officer and family.

  2. Day 3

    Initial scoping note: tutor match, risk assessment, agreed EHCP Section F mapping.

  3. 1 week

    First sessions delivered. Engagement notes shared with SEND officer.

  4. Half-termly

    Progress report against EHCP Section F outcomes. Distributable to panel without rework.

  5. Quarterly

    Full evidence pack: attendance, engagement, academic progress, safeguarding summary.

  6. Annual review

    Pre-meeting briefing, supporting evidence and provision review attendance on request.

Parity Education Tutor Hub

Reporting built in, not bolted on

Every session we deliver is logged in real time on the Parity Education Tutor Hub — our secure, staff-only platform for managing, monitoring and evidencing provision. Commissioners receive clear oversight at student, tutor and cohort level through structured weekly reports and monthly summaries, not direct platform access.

  • Evidence of hours delivered and engagement with learning
  • Visibility of welfare and support concerns as they arise
  • Auto-compiled weekly reports and monthly summaries
  • Role-based access & UK-based, ICO-registered data handling

Same lead from referral to review. Mobile number issued at point of placement.

Same-day acknowledgement

Every email acknowledged the same working day. Substantive response within 24 hours.

Single document trail

All progress notes, incident reports and reviews stored in one shared, audit-ready folder per case.

Direct line to senior leadership

Operations Director reachable to commissioners directly — escalation does not require a chase.
