The ongoing project by Capita introduces significant updates to the SEN (Special Educational Needs) system in line with the statutory code of practice. Key changes include the renaming of the existing SEN History to SEN Change Log, introduction of new SEN Needs History, and revisions to SEN support types. Updates such as the ability to track EHCP applications, new status classifications, and enhancements to user interface elements aim to provide better historical reporting and usability for educational institutions.
