The setting
A classroom. A family. A need that someone notices. The statutory clock begins.
Every CYP is a story. Every plan is a promise.
The Education, Health and Care platform brings together nine specialist agents — one group, one plan, one clock — to carry every child and young person through the statutory process faster, with every voice heard and every decision recorded.
One plan, walked end to end
Brian, twenty, reading economics at Chiang Mai University
My name is Brian. I'm twenty. I didn't take the usual school route. I homeschooled myself, sat the GED instead of the regular Thai exams, got into Payap University, and then into Chiang Mai University. I'm reading economics at CMU — how markets work, how value moves, who gets left out when the system is opaque.
What I want on the record is this: the path was mine. I chose how I learned and I chose what I'm studying — economics, and the blockchain web that agents will run on. I still care about clear plans and people who don't disappear at the handover. I want my own plan to talk to adult services, not a file someone closed because I had a birthday.
Brian is an avatar case, named by Tony for his son. The plan around him is illustrative; the education is his own.
Every child, by where they are
Seven cohorts. The statutory process is the same for all of them; what changes is what gets missed. Each page names the thing that gets missed.
Early Years (0–5)
They're not too young to need help. They're too young to wait.
Primary (5–11)
The gap shouldn't grow while they wait for a plan.
Secondary (11–16)
Exams, transitions, and a voice that matters.
Post-16 (16–25)
Adulthood doesn't start at 18. It starts now.
Complex Medical
Their health need shouldn't block their education.
Looked-After & Edge-of-Care
One plan. One record. One person who knows the whole story.
Complex Communication & Non-Verbal
They have a voice. Let's learn how to hear it.
The journey — from request to review
The group
Nine agents gather — chairman, keyworker, parents, doctor, SENCo, therapist, social worker, LA, and the CYP's own voice.
The request
A parent writes. A school refers. A health visitor flags. The EHC needs assessment starts.
The outcomes
Not services — outcomes. What the CYP wants to achieve. Measurable. Specific. Their words.
The plan
Sections A through I. Every provision specified and quantified. Every section owned by one member of the group.
The review
The group meets. The CYP opens the meeting. Every decision recorded with a reason and a date.
The record
What worked. What didn't. What we discovered. Carried forward so the next child doesn't start from scratch.
One group — nine agents, one plan
Chairman
Convenes meetings, keeps the person-centred agenda, minutes every decision
Local Authority
Statutory duties, the clock, the draft plan, decisions with reasons
Keyworker
One continuous relationship — holds the whole child, escalates early
CYP Voice
The child's wishes and feelings — spoken first, not summarised last
Parents
Family evidence, concerns and rights — equal partners, not visitors
Doctor
Medical evidence and health provision — Section C and G, quantified
SENCo
Graduated response, provision mapping, progress data — honest baselines
Therapist
SLT/OT assessment — specified, quantified, section named
Social Worker
Safeguarding, care context — present where it belongs, explicit where it doesn't
The statutory clock — tracked, never hidden
Every window tracked. Every deadline alerted. The system warns — not the child.
