Anthill Trails
Revolutionary AI-powered child-centred education management platform that transforms how Alternative Provision and SEN settings support vulnerable learners
The SEN Crisis: When Bureaucracy Overwhelms Care
Across the UK, practitioners supporting children with special educational needs are drowning in administrative demands. The very systems designed to protect vulnerable learners have become barriers between dedicated professionals and the children they serve.
- Overwhelming Documentation Burden
Practitioners spend countless hours managing EHCP paperwork, referral forms, and compliance documentation, often working well beyond contracted hours just to keep up with administrative demands
- Impossible Time Pressures
The majority of SEN professionals struggle with insufficient time to support all children adequately, juggling multiple roles whilst trying to maintain quality provision for vulnerable learners
- Burnout and Retention Crisis
High stress levels and emotional exhaustion are driving experienced practitioners away from SEN roles, creating a retention crisis just when expertise is needed most
The irony is stark: professionals who entered SEN work to support children directly now find themselves spending more time with paperwork than with the young people they're passionate about helping.
