Starting drafts for school communication
EHCP School Letter Helper for Parents
Create a clear starting draft for your own SEND or EHCP communication with school. You supply the facts, check every word, adapt the message and decide whether to send it.
AI can make mistakes. These digital assistants provide general information and drafting support. They are not a solicitor, medical professional, educational psychologist or personalised human advocate. Check important information and decide for yourself what to use or send.
Drafting support for your own communication
School Liaison, Rewrite Assistant and Reasonable Adjustments can help turn your facts and concerns into a clearer starting point for your own communication. The assistants do not contact the school, send a letter or decide what you should say.
What you can prepare
- A request for support
- A request for a meeting
- A factual evidence summary
- Questions for an Annual Review
- A request for reasonable adjustments
- A follow-up after a school meeting
- A summary of barriers or concerns
- A request for a written response
How to get a useful first draft
Explain the purpose of the message, the relevant facts, what has already been tried and the response you are asking for. Leave out identifying details. If something important is missing, use a placeholder rather than asking the assistant to guess.
- Keep the message focused on the child and the issue
- Separate facts from opinions or assumptions
- Use dates only when you have checked them
- Ask for a clear and realistic next step
- Keep your own copies of the final message and replies
Check and adapt every draft
Every response is drafting support: a starting point for your own communication. Read it from beginning to end, remove anything that is inaccurate, add the details the recipient genuinely needs, check any statements about law or process, and make sure the final message reflects your own view before you send it.
What the helper cannot do
- It is not a legal letter generator
- It cannot verify every fact or document
- It cannot send letters or emails
- It cannot make a school or local authority agree
- It cannot assess or diagnose a child
- It cannot replace personalised professional advice

Use the tools safely
