The UK’s education system is failing many children and young people, particularly those with Special Educational Needs (SEN). At Supporting Children’s Pathways, we are committed to providing the support they need to thrive.
As reported by ITV News, as of December 2024, 1.6 million children and young people in the UK are waiting for an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP). An EHCP is a legal document arranged by local authorities, outlining the additional support required to meet a child’s educational, health, and social needs. Unfortunately, education services are underfunded, and waiting times for EHCP reviews often exceed 12 months.
We believe this is unacceptable, as it can severely impact a young person’s development. That’s why, in 2024, we founded Supporting Children’s Pathways with a clear mission: to ensure every young person has access to an education that meets their unique needs and empowers them to thrive.
Our Mission and Vision
At Supporting Children’s Pathways, we are dedicated to:
- Providing a safe, inclusive, and nurturing learning environment for children and young people who face barriers to mainstream education.
- Offering tailored support, innovative teaching, and development programs to rebuild confidence, inspire ambition, and equip learners with the skills they need to succeed in education, employment, and life
- Collaborating with families, educators, and the wider community to ensure that every young person, regardless of their background or circumstances, can achieve their full potential.
Why We Exist
The Problem:
The current education system is underfunded and struggling to meet the needs of all children, especially those with SEN. Long delays in EHCP processing leave many families feeling unsupported, while young people miss out on critical opportunities for growth.
Our Solution:
Through our programs and partnerships, we focus on breaking down barriers to education by providing the resources and support that children and families need to thrive. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, and we are here to make that happen.
