This service is designed for situations where the plan may look right on paper, but the lived reality is different: support is missing, unclear, partial, inconsistent, or not having the effect it should because it is not being implemented properly. [Start your enquiry](https://www.navigatesend.com/contact-us) ## Support when the plan says one thing but practice says another Some of the most difficult SEND cases are not about getting a plan in the first place, but about what happens when the plan exists and the agreed provision is still not being delivered properly. This service helps bring structure to that stage. We support the process by clarifying what provision is supposed to be happening, what is happening in practice, where the gap lies, and what the strongest next step may now be.   ## Typical scope of support ### Provision gap review Review of the EHCP and the practical picture to identify where provision is missing, diluted, inconsistent or ineffective in delivery. ### Case clarification Clarifying what support should be happening, what is actually happening, and which issues are most important to evidence. ### Strategic framing Helping shape a clearer account of the problem and the strongest route for what needs to happen next. --- ### Evidence organisation Reviewing the available reports, educational information and lived experience evidence that supports the case picture. ### Drafting support Support with structuring provision-related correspondence, requests or next-step materials where agreed. ### Next-step planning Clarifying whether the case now points towards amendment, local authority request work, annual review or ongoing strategic advisory support. --- --- ## Who is this service for? ## Families Parents and carers who believe the agreed support in the EHCP is not being made properly in reality. --- ## Case managers Professionals who need a clearer route for analysing and progressing a provision failure issue. --- ## Cases under strain Situations where the gap between written provision and actual delivery is causing distress, delay or educational harm. ## A clear route from enquiry to provision-gap support ### Initial enquiry You explain what provision should be happening, what is happening in reality, and what concerns are now most urgent. ### Triage and fit We review the case at a high level and identify whether this is the right service pathway. ### Consultation and scope Where appropriate, we clarify the provision issues, evidence picture and likely next-step route. --- ### Review and drafting stage The gap between the EHCP and actual delivery is analysed more clearly and the next-step materials are structured where agreed. ### Strategic next steps The service concludes with a clearer route for what should now happen to address the provision issue. ### Not sure if this is a provision issue, amendment issue or review issue? **If the case cuts across more than one stage, get in touch and we can help identify the strongest entry point.** [Contact us](https://www.navigatesend.com/contact-us) ## What is useful to have ready? ### The current EHCP The existing plan so that we can review the provision you currently have in place. --- ### School or placement information What is happening in practice, including timetables, arrangements or explanations already given. --- ### Professional reports Any reports or records that help explain why the specified provision matters and what happens when it is absent. --- ### Family or case records Any clear account of what has been missed, delayed, reduced or inconsistently delivered. ## Common questions What does provision not being delivered mean? It means support written into the EHCP is not being provided in practice, is inconsistent, is unclear in reality, or is being delivered in a way that does not meet the child or young person's needs. Can you help if a school says support is in place but it does not seem to be working? Yes. This service is relevant where provision on paper and provision in practice appear misaligned, inconsistent or insufficient. Do we need an EHCP already in place to use this service? Usually this service is most relevant where provision is already specified and the problem is that it is not being made properly in practice. Can this service connect to other stages of the case? Yes. Provision issues often connect to amendment work, annual review, requests to the local authority or ongoing strategic advisory support. ### Need support where EHCP provision is not being delivered? If the written plan and real-world delivery no longer match, get in touch and we can help clarify the strongest next steps.
