Why organised evidence matters
SEND decisions often come down to dates, records and what can be shown clearly. These numbers explain why preparation matters.

How it Works
Three steps to stay in control.
1
Step 1
Capture it while it's fresh.
A difficult meeting just ended. A session was missed - again. Log it in seconds with Quick Capture before the detail fades. Voice note, photo, or a few words. From anywhere.
🎙️ Voice

Step 2
We put it all in order.
Every capture, every letter, every missed deadline - automatically sorted into your child's case timeline, diary, and provision tracker. No filing. No folders. Just clarity.
🟣 Annual review meeting
🔴 SALT session missed
🟡 EHCP amendment received

Step 3

📄 Annual Review Pack
24 pages

Who it's for
Wherever you are in the SEND journey.
Send Dossier works for families at every stage — from first suspicions to tribunal preparation.
Just starting out
You've just been told your child might need an EHCP.
Everything feels overwhelming. You're not sure what an EHCP is, what your rights are, or where to start. Send Dossier helps you capture everything from day one — so nothing gets lost and you build your case as you go.
Mid process
You have an EHCP but things aren't being delivered.
Provision is being missed. Letters go unanswered. The annual review is coming and you feel unprepared. Send Dossier tracks every missed session, flags every ignored letter, and builds your evidence automatically.
Preparing for tribunal
You've decided to appeal and need a professional evidence bundle.
The tribunal panel needs organised, credible evidence. Send Dossier generates professional evidence packs formatted for tribunal submission — the kind of document that changes the tone of a room.
Not sure where you fit? Send Dossier works for all of these — and everything in between.
Free tool

Why Send Dossier
Better than a folder.
Better than a spreadsheet.
Most SEND parents manage their case with a combination of email folders, WhatsApp messages, and memory. Here's why that's not enough.
| Feature | 📁 Folders & email | 📊 Spreadsheet | ⚡ Send Dossier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legal deadline tracking | Manual only | Auto-generated | |
| Provision gap detection | Manual | Automatic | |
| Evidence pack export | One click | ||
| Letter reply tracking | Manual | Automatic | |
| Timeline of events | Possible | Built in | |
| Mobile capture | Voice, photo, video | ||
| Secure & encrypted | AES-256 | ||
| Optional AI help | Command (opt-in) | ||
| Works offline | Partial | PWA |
The difference isn't just convenience. It's the difference between walking into a review with a bag of letters and walking in with a professional evidence pack.

Optional AI help
Quiet support when you ask for it
Summaries and pattern hints can save time. They are off by default, never replace your judgement, and only run on records you explicitly choose.
When you opt in, only the material you select is sent to Anthropic's API for processing. Anthropic does not use that content to train public models. You can switch AI off anytime in Settings. Full detail: Privacy Policy.
Reminder: Send Dossier does not give legal, medical, or educational advice — including anything produced with AI assistance.
Opt-in
Summaries you control
You choose which notes or entries are summarised — nothing runs on your whole account by accident.
Opt-in
Pattern hints
Light-touch highlights across diary and timeline so recurring themes are easier to spot.
Opt-in
Next-step prompts
Optional suggestions after you log something — reminders, not instructions.
Opt-in
Provision reminders
Nudges tied to what you have tracked, so gaps are visible before review meetings.
Families first
Built with families in mind
Send Dossier is currently being prepared for early family feedback. We will only publish real stories and testimonials when families choose to share them.
Where parents go for SEND guidance
Many families also use independent charities and services such as IPSEA, SENDIASS, SOSSEN, and school complaints routes — Send Dossier doesn't replace them; it helps you keep a dated record alongside their advice.
No partnership or endorsement is implied. Always check current guidance from official sources.
Our commitment
Real words only: no invented quotes, no paid endorsements, and no incentives for testimonials. When families offer to share, we'll ask permission before publishing anything identifiable.
