The platform
A new website.
The whole AP Hub platform included.
We replace your existing website with a provider-branded site and the AP Hub platform. Our aim is to lower your overall costs by bringing your website, referrals, delivery evidence and reporting into one service.
Secure referrals
General enquiries and sensitive referrals are kept apart. Caseworkers upload through a verified, case-bound route — with or without an EHCP.
Capacity & placements
Availability by site, service, age range and support needs — with a “last confirmed” date, so commissioners never rely on stale information.
Session evidence on the go
Tutors and mentors record attendance, notes and evidence from a phone. Planned, delivered, cancelled and unrecorded sessions stay clearly distinct.
Six half-termly reports
Report drafts compiled from source-linked evidence, approved by a responsible person, and shared in the right version for each recipient.
Pupil & parent voice
Text, optional audio, symbols or assisted input. Contributors see who can read what they share — and silence is never recorded as agreement.
Record once
Less time chasing paperwork. More time with learners.
Every observation is linked to the learner, placement, session and outcome it supports. When a report is due, the evidence is already there — and anything missing is shown as missing, not quietly filled in.
- Observations, pupil voice, professional judgement and AI drafts are always labelled as what they are
- Corrections keep the original value, the reason and who made the change
- Concerns follow your safeguarding procedure immediately — they never wait for a report
Follow the learner journey
A clear route.
A visible next step.
Explore two example pathways. Select a stage to see what happens, who helps and how progress becomes evidence.
FICTIONAL LEARNER JOURNEY
Chloe Saunders, 12
SEND & EHCP · her goals, her voice, her next steps
Action neededIn reviewComplete / ready
Traffic lights show the status of a task — never a judgement about a young person.
Stage 3 of 6
SEND needs and behaviour pathways can overlap. A non-EHCP route still considers the young person’s individual needs; placements and plan changes are agreed by people.
Reports & dashboards
See the progress.
Understand the story.
Six half-termly reporting windows, with dashboards that show attendance, SEND outcomes, behaviour, delivery and next steps. Every report is reviewed before it is shared.
All dashboards below use fictional example data. Reporting windows can be adapted to each placement.

One evidence base.
The right view for each person.
Families get an understandable update. Schools see agreed attendance and progress. Local authorities see the information needed to review a placement. Your team keeps the evidence and approval history.
- Starting point & context
- Attendance & delivery
- SEND / EHCP outcomes
- Behaviour & wellbeing
- Curriculum & qualifications
- Young person’s voice
- Parent / carer voice
- Professional assessment
- Next actions & owners
- Review & sharing history
Voice of the pupil & parent
Every learner can take part — in the way that suits them.
A learner who can't, or doesn't want to, speak can still be heard. Contributions can be written, recorded, made with symbols or with support from a trusted adult.
- Contributors review their transcript and see who it will be shared with
- Learners are told, in plain language, what happens if they raise a worry
- Family access follows verified relationships and safeguarding restrictions
Eleven people. One connected journey.
Built for everyone
around the young person.
From the first referral to the next chapter, each person has a clear role and an appropriate view. Meet all eleven fictional design personas from our original blueprint.
Eleanor Vance
LA strategic commissioner / service director
“I need a clear picture of sufficiency, quality and commissioned delivery, with attention drawn to the right exceptions.”
Sarah Jenkins
LA SEND / AP caseworker
“Let me submit information once, track each placement and get a complete report on time.”
Margaret Ross
Inspector / evaluator
“Show me the evidence for this review, with its source and approval history clearly visible.”
Alistair Montgomery
MAT executive / inclusion leader
“Give our trust consistent reporting while keeping each provision’s identity and responsibility.”
Marcus Vance
AP / PRU headteacher · head of provision
“I need to assess referrals, oversee delivery and sign off reports without three spreadsheets.”
Rupert Sterling
Independent AP proprietor / director
“Help me run a sustainable provision and show commissioners the quality of our offer.”
Chloe Patel
Tutor / mentor · AP worker
“Show me my sessions and let me record attendance, progress and concerns quickly.”
Jonathan Crisp
Sending-school inclusion / attendance lead
“I need to know how our pupils are doing and see attendance exceptions early.”
Joanne Miller
Parent / carer
“Help me understand the plan, share my views and see how my child is getting on.”
Chloe Saunders
Young person, 12 · SEND / EHCP pathway
“Show me my timetable and goals, and let me share my views in a way that works for me.”
Leo Taylor
Young person, 15 · behaviour / reintegration pathway
“Show me what I’ve achieved and let me help decide what comes next.”
Trust, privacy & AI
People stay accountable. Technology does the heavy lifting.
Humans approve, always
AI can suggest a draft or link evidence to an outcome — with the source passage shown. It can never approve a report, make a placement decision or rewrite a plan.
Access by relationship, not job title
Named accounts, deny-by-default permissions and access that ends when a placement relationship ends. Seniority alone never unlocks a safeguarding record.
Public impact, carefully
No live counters fed by pupil data. Public results are dated snapshots that pass disclosure checks and separate approval. Small groups stay suppressed.
Your website address, your content
You keep control of your website address, branding and content. We help move your website to AP Hub and provide data export and support if you choose to leave.
What AP Hub won't do
- Make autonomous placement decisions
- Produce diagnoses or clinical risk scores
- Publish child-level information
- Replace your safeguarding system without separate approval
- Write to your school MIS without verified, supported integration
- Promise placements, outcomes or inspection results
How we're building it
Three phases, each earned with evidence.
Provider core
Website, secure referral, delivery evidence, six reporting windows, safe sharing and controlled public impact — proven with design partners.
Now: design partnersTrusts & multi-agency
Multi-site administration, richer coordination and approved integrations — when Phase 1 evidence supports it.
NextLocal authority network
Regional directory, quality assurance and commissioning views — built last, with a named LA sponsor.
LaterCommon questions
Straight answers.
We already have a website.
We replace it with a website using your own branding, with the AP Hub platform included. We help move your approved pages, policies and website address across. Our aim is to lower your combined website and administration costs; we review the costs with you during your demo.
Can AP Hub connect to our school systems?
AP Hub is designed to connect to school MIS systems such as Arbor, Bromcom and SIMS, and to safeguarding systems such as CPOMS where a supported connection is available. We confirm the connection, permissions and any import requirements for your school during setup. Your new website and the AP Hub platform are provided together.
Our trust manages our website address. Can we still use AP Hub?
Yes. We work with your trust’s website or IT team to agree the move, keep your branding and use the website address they approve. We handle the technical setup with them.
We can't share pupil information publicly.
Agreed. Private records stay private. Public impact is a separate, approved and disclosure-checked process — and some providers will choose to publish qualitative information only.
We can't change anything during term.
Then we won't. Launches are staged and timed with you. Speed is an option, not a demand.
Can you guarantee more placements?
No. We'll help you measure referral quality and conversion honestly, so you can see what's working.
Does our local authority need to buy a licence?
No. Case-specific sharing with a caseworker is part of the provider product. The LA network product is separate and comes later.
