One workflow, three role-specific views

How the platform works

A governed path from initial request to completed advice.

Every step adds the next action to the same connected assessment record.

Council request

A Council or Local Authority submits a structured EHC needs assessment request through its controlled portal.

Agency intake

The Agency checks the request, identifies missing information and prepares the case for allocation.

EP allocation

The Agency considers availability and delivery requirements before assigning an Educational Psychologist.

Assessment delivery

The EP manages milestones and prepares their professional advice in the protected Practitioner workspace.

Agency review

Quality checks, version history and review feedback remain connected to the case before release.

Council delivery

The Local Authority receives the Agency-released advice and can use the governed clarification route.

Finance & reconciliation

Case activity connects the records needed for Agency invoicing, Council payment and Practitioner payment.

Platform capabilities

Designed around the work your teams already need to complete.

ASEND brings operational control, professional delivery and statutory visibility together without making every user work in the same way.

One connected case record

Keep requests, milestones, professional advice, review, release and finance linked.

Role-specific workspaces

Give Agencies, EPs and Council teams the actions and information appropriate to them.

Visible next actions

See what is waiting, who owns it and which deadline or handover comes next.

Controlled review & release

Support Agency quality assurance before completed advice reaches the Council.

Connected financial records

Follow the operational route from completed work to invoicing and reconciliation.

Governed access

Use organisation and role-based permissions with traceable activity.

Expected time saving

Spend less time locating status.

Shared milestones and visible ownership reduce routine chasing and manual transfer between records.

Expected labour saving

Reduce repeated handling.

One case record supports intake, allocation, progress, report review, release and finance.

Expected financial control

Connect activity to reconciliation.

Case, report and finance records stay linked, improving the route from completed work to invoicing and payment.

Actual savings depend on assessment volume, current processes, team structure and implementation.
