96% of SEND tribunal cases are won by families. The primary reason is poor EHCP quality — vague provision language, missing outcomes, unquantified support. EHCPRO flags these failures before the document leaves the office.
EHCP quality is the primary driver of tribunal outcomes. LAs are not losing because they lack intent — they are losing because the documents are legally vulnerable. EHCPRO closes the gap.
“Some additional support will be provided as appropriate.” This sentence loses cases. Section F must be specific, quantified, and name the qualification of the person delivering it. Most EHCPs fail this test.
Every provision in Section F must map to a SMART outcome in Section E. An EHCP with OT provision in F and no OT outcome in E is legally deficient. EHCPRO catches this automatically on every save.
Under the White Paper 2026 framework, the ISP and APDR cycle history is the primary evidence base for an EHCP application. An EHCP without this trail is significantly more vulnerable to challenge.
These are the most common EHCP compliance failures at tribunal. EHCPRO checks all nine automatically. Every EHCP. Every save.
At £15,000–£50,000 per contested tribunal case, even preventing five successful appeals per year pays for EHCPRO many times over. The ROI calculation is not complicated.
