Ontology + LLM extraction
Convert natural teacher observations into structured behavioural signals, domains, source spans, and confidence explanations.
Explainable SEND decision support
Turn classroom observations into structured SEND reasoning.
senco helps SENCOs, teachers, clinicians, and safeguarding teams convert natural observations into reviewed behaviour signals, longitudinal insights, evidence-informed interventions, pathway packs, and auditable non-diagnostic review workflows.

SENCO review taskAudit
Observed patterns may indicate differences in sensory processing, flexibility, and pragmatic communication that warrant further exploration through the school SEND pathway.
How it works
Built for the way multidisciplinary SEND teams actually reason, review, and evidence decisions.
Human-reviewed reports
Let professionals edit extracted behaviours before finalising non-diagnostic reasoning reports against student records.
Escalation workflows
Turn SENCO-review and safeguarding-risk outputs into owned tasks with notes, due dates, SLA indicators, and audit history.
Pathway packs
Generate SENCO, DSL, CAMHS, SALT, OT, and educational psychology packs with checklists, PDFs, attachments, and retention.
Collaborative review
Coordinate case notes, evidence, actions, parent/carer summaries, meeting packs, provision plans, outcomes, and impact tracking.
Calibration governance
Capture SENCO/clinician feedback, propose scoring-weight updates, approve releases, roll back changes, and probe providers safely.
End-to-end workflow
From a classroom note to a governed SEND review trail.
senco is not a chatbot bolted onto a form. It is a structured reasoning workflow with human review, intervention retrieval, escalation ownership, audit evidence, and calibration governance.

Escalation and pathway packs
Safeguarding-aware work does not disappear into reports.
Reports with SENCO-review or urgent safeguarding indicators become owned tasks with due dates, notes, acknowledgements, pathway checklists, attachment history, and export status tracking.

Analytics and review
See patterns over time, then act with context.
Student profiles bring together observation history, domain trends, reviewer comparison reports, collaborative SEND review, provision impact, and workload metrics.
Longitudinal trend summaries
Compare domain scores across multiple observations and identify changes that warrant SEND pathway discussion.
Review and audit history
Track case notes, evidence, meeting packs, parent/carer summaries, exports, and escalation actions.
Student profiles and report history
Observation trends over time
Behaviour incident spreadsheet imports
Duplicate review and row-level correction
External pathway templates and routing
PDF packs, attachment history, and retention
Admin audit search, saved exports, and background jobs
Team roles for SENCO, staff, clinicians, and owners
Built for each role
Public pages for the people who need different evidence and different next steps.
Explore role-specific pages for SENCOs, teachers, clinicians, and safeguarding leads, then review the trust posture covering non-diagnostic AI, retention, audit trails, and escalation governance.
For SENCOs
Run SEND triage, review, and escalation with an auditable trail.
senco helps SENCOs move from teacher observations to reviewed behaviour signals, pathway packs, meeting prep, provision tracking, and accountable escalation without diagnostic shortcuts.
Open pageFor teachers
Capture what happened in class without forcing observations into rigid forms.
Teachers can write natural classroom observations, support SENCO review with clearer evidence, and contribute to ongoing SEND reviews without being asked to diagnose or classify pupils.
Open pageFor clinicians
Review school evidence with context, comparison history, and calibration governance.
Clinicians can review edited behaviour signals, audit what changed from the initial extraction, and collaborate with SENCOs using non-diagnostic, evidence-led SEND reasoning workflows.
Open pageFor safeguarding leads
See urgent cases, pathway packs, and escalation history before concerns disappear into inboxes.
senco gives safeguarding leads owned escalation tasks, pathway-specific routing, attachment history, and safe review governance so urgent SEND and safeguarding signals stay visible and accountable.
Open pageCompared with the usual alternatives
More than a spreadsheet. More accountable than a chatbot.
senco is built for teams who need structured SEND workflows, not just somewhere to type notes or paste model output. The value is the governed operating model around each observation, review, and escalation.
Spreadsheets capture data, but not governed review and escalation workflows.
Generic chatbots can draft language, but not preserve school-ready audit trails or retention controls.
Diagnosis-style classifiers promise certainty too early; senco keeps the workflow non-diagnostic and review-led.
Schools and trusts
Public rollout guidance for schools, MATs, and trust teams.
Before a pilot starts, teams usually need clarity on ownership, retention, export expectations, and how SENCO, safeguarding, and clinician stakeholders will work together. senco now has a dedicated public page for that rollout conversation.
Start with a defined pilot cohort instead of a whole-organisation switch-on.
Align SENCO, safeguarding, clinician, and leadership ownership before live use.
Use retention, export, and audit expectations as onboarding decisions, not afterthoughts.
Prepare pilot artefacts before expanding to additional schools, cohorts, or trust-level teams.
Use the printable pilot checklist to structure readiness discussions before live use.
Non-diagnostic by design
No “likely autism” shortcuts. No black box triage.
senco is designed to say what responsible professionals can act on: observed patterns, possible need areas, confidence, evidence-informed supports, and escalation prompts. Calibration releases are governed, auditable, and reversible. The system supports SENCO and clinician judgement; it does not diagnose.
Non-diagnostic by design
senco describes observed patterns, possible areas of need, confidence, and suggested next steps. It does not label pupils with diagnoses or replace professional judgement.
Audit trails and reviewer comparison
Every meaningful change leaves a trail, from report edits and escalation notes to downloads, export jobs, and calibration releases.
Implementation readiness
The public site now shows what needs to be true operationally before a pilot begins.
Governance and accountability
The product message stays tied to the actual governed workflows already implemented.
Ready for pilot teams
Give every observation a structured next step.
Start with the public analyser or create a workspace for persistent student profiles, review workflows, and auditable SEND reasoning.
