Nisai has been shortlisted for the Inclusive Technology of the Year award at the nasen Awards 2025!
We know how challenging the Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP) process can be. With an EHCP, the fees are paid for by the local authority and not the parent, but from getting the plan agreed upon and issued, to managing annual reviews, it can feel overwhelming for both parents and students. We’re here to help.
Whether the young person is in the assessment phase or already has an EHCP, Nisai plays a vital role in delivering the educational provisions outlined in the plan. We provide a flexible and supportive learning environment designed to meet the needs of students, whether they attend traditional schools or require alternative solutions.

If your young person has special educational needs, we’re here to support them.
As a government-approved provider, we have years of experience working with students, and since 2014, we’ve been officially recognised under Section 41 by the UK Department for Education. Section 41 of the Children and Families Act 2014 allows the Secretary of State to approve independent special schools as suitable for naming on an EHCP. This means we are approved to educate young people aged 16 and over with an EHCP.
If a student (typically post-16) has an EHCP, parents and local authorities can name Nisai as the provider for that learner’s educational provision, offering tailored educational support that fits their unique needs.
Local authorities have a legal duty to consider and consult with Section 41 providers when named on an EHCP.
An Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP) is a legal document in the UK that outlines the specific education, health, and social care support a child with SEND requires.
Every EHCP is personalised to the young person’s individual needs, ensuring they receive the right support to help them succeed in both education and life.
Before the EHCP is issued
At Nisai, we partner with local authorities to understand how we can uniquely empower the young person’s educational journey. We design a personalised support plan that caters to the young person’s specific needs, whether it’s through online learning, one-on-one mentoring, or innovative assistive technology.
Our team is here to help parents explore all the educational options Nisai offers, ensuring you’re well-informed every step of the way. We provide guidance on accessing local resources, including the Local Authority Local Offer or SENDIASS teams, to support the young person’s education.
Finding information can sometimes be tricky. Use our interactive map to easily locate our listings and discover how we can support locally.
After the EHCP is issued
Our commitment doesn’t stop once the EHCP is issued. We strive to meet and exceed the outcomes outlined in the EHCP and offer continued support.
Our team meticulously prepares for annual reviews, ensuring the EHCP remains relevant and effective, and we maintain open lines of communication with all parties involved, ensuring everyone is on the same page and working together seamlessly, with a big focus on the future.
At Nisai, we believe that every child deserves an education that’s designed around their needs and aspirations. Our goal is to help everyone succeed by providing the right support, every step of the way.
