The Independence File

One record, and you own it.

Every plan, goal, session, report, review and decision about your child's support lives in one place. You can read all of it whenever you want, and you can take the whole thing with you at no cost — including on the day you decide to leave.

Illustrative file. Figures show the format, not a real child.

Why it exists

You should not have to re-tell your child's history.

The reason parents repeat themselves at every appointment is that nobody is keeping the whole picture. Each provider keeps the slice they are paid for, and the join between them lives only in your head.

The file is the join. It is the same record your Family Lead works from, the same one the clinician updates, and the same one you can open on your phone in a school meeting.

We keep it because being able to see the work is the only way you can hold us to it.

What's inside

Six things, kept current.

01

The Independence Plan

Goals in plain English, intensity, settings, projected timeline and review dates. Every version kept, so you can see what changed and when.

02

Session data

What was worked on, how your child did against each goal, and the practitioner's note. Added the same week, not at the end of term.

03

Reports from everyone

Including reports written by clinicians and schools we have nothing to do with, if you want them in one place.

04

Reviews and decisions

Every review, and every decision with the reason it was made. Including the decisions you disagreed with, recorded as such.

05

Hours and cost over time

Support hours by month against the plan's projection, so a reduction that was promised and never happened is visible to you, not only to us.

06

Who has seen it

An access log. You grant and revoke access to the school, a clinician or a family member, and you can see who opened what.

Ownership, stated plainly

The file is yours. Not ours.

Export it free, any time

PDF for reading and CSV for the data, on request, at no cost. There is no export fee and no exit fee, because charging a parent to retrieve their own child's history would be indefensible.

Free on the way out, too

Especially on the way out. If you leave us, we send the complete file to whoever you name, in a format the next provider can actually open.

You control who sees it

Access is granted by you, per person, and revoked by you. A school gets what you decide a school gets. Nothing is shared with a third party for marketing, ever.

Corrections are yours to demand

If something in the record is wrong, you can require it to be corrected. If we disagree, your objection is recorded in the file next to the entry.

Where this starts

Tell us what you've noticed.

Twenty minutes on the phone with someone who does this every day. No assessment, no cost, and no obligation to become a client at the end of it.

If we're not the right people, we'll tell you who is. That includes naming providers we don't own, and it costs you nothing either way.
