VITA, Invision360s groundbreaking EHCP generating AI platform, has secured funding from the prestigious Innovate UK smart grants.

Innovate UK recognised the significant impact that VITA could have in a sector that is stretched year on year. This grant success not only provides financial support but also serves as a significant endorsement of the platform's innovative capabilities. This platform goes beyond technological innovation; it aspires to create a future where every child with SEND can meet their full potential.

Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, is creating a better future by inspiring, involving and investing in businesses developing life-changing innovations. Innovate UK provide targeted sectors with expertise, facilities and funding to test, demonstrate and evolve their ideas, driving UK productivity and economic growth.

VITA represents a major advancement in supporting local authorities to effectively address the quality of EHCPs and the increasing demands placed on SEND services. By utilising a highly secure AI model, VITA aims to simplify the resource intensive process of writing Education, Health, and Care Plans, whilst increasing quality and keeping person-centered and individualisation at its core. This innovative platform carefully analyses and synthesizes all the local expertise and professional advice. Its future plans will enable it to identify gaps and limitations, thus aiding in the development of comprehensive, person-centered initial draft plans that genuinely meet the needs of children and young people with SEND. The resource (time) saved by local authority professionals and SEND teams can be then redirected to other important activity, such as more coproduced meetings with children and families to refine the draft EHCP.

To ensure VITA meets the needs of all stakeholders in the EHCP process, Invision360 have recently appointed a board of trusted advisors in the fields of SEND and generative AI.

With the support of the Innovate UK SmartGrant, Invision360 are not just creating a platform; they are spearheading a movement to enable SEND professionals to devote more time to a holistic approach to SEND support.

'We're incredibly proud of what we've accomplished so far with Invision360. Expanding into AI tools will further amplify our ability to support children and young people with SEND. I’m eager to see the transformative impact our VITA platform will have, especially with the backing of Innovate UK, our advisory board, local authorities, and the invaluable input from parents and carers,' said Philip Stock, Founder and CEO, Invision360.
