The National ePEP Single Sign-On Personal Education Plan to Success

eGov Solutions, headquartered in Wilmslow, Cheshire, was founded by Managing Director Gary Daniels in 2002 with the vision of developing the electronic Personal Education Plan (ePEP) for looked-after children. Over the years, we have established ourselves as the most widely used and highly recommended platform in the UK, dedicated to enhancing the educational progress and outcomes for vulnerable children. Our reach extends across more than 150 local authorities, supporting over 35,000 schools throughout England and Wales, with a user base of approximately 82,000.

Our secure platform effectively tracks attendance, academic achievement, and progress, aligning with national age-related expectations. This enables local authorities to collaborate seamlessly with schools and education providers. Key features of our platform include live API attendance monitoring and pupil premium expenditure tracking. We maintain close liaison with Ofsted and the Department for Education (DfE) to ensure that ePEP meets and adheres to statutory guidance. To accurately represent the needs of all vulnerable children, core data is sourced from both social care and education databases. The ePEP platform has evolved from a tool for recording individual PEPs to a comprehensive information management system that serves as a reporting tool for Virtual Schools nationwide. Today, the system operates as the ePEP Single Sign-On platform for educators in over 35,000 schools, demonstrating our commitment to supporting the educational landscape for vulnerable children across the country.

Live Reports

Using the virtual school dashboard, live reports and KPI’s can be aggregated across schools, year groups or by individual children.

Here are a few kind words from some happy customers.

Don’t just take our word for it.

I have worked with Gary Daniels recently to procure and build a new system to manage caseloads of children attending alternative provision. The new system has the ability for alternative providers to enter children’s daily attendance marks and for mainstream schools to view their attendance marks which is an invaluable tool to ensure proper safeguarding of children by their mainstream school. The system also allows alternative providers to enter half termly attainment information for the children and for the mainstream school to set the targets. Gary has worked directly with me to build the system to the exact specification the local authority asked for and by doing so, has built us an excellent product which will be rolled out to schools and alternative providers within Stoke-on-Trent in September 2015.

The progression our authority has experienced with ePEP has been excellent. Progressing to an electronic based PEP system was relatively stress-free and has been met with very positive feedback from professionals. The ease at which PEPs are now accessible by all linked professionals, wherever they’re based, is great and response times from the ePEP team when reporting any errors we’ve come across have been very good.

The system allows our users to input the necessary information easily, with (customisable) access for all other linked professionals to view that information instantly.

One of the biggest successes our authority has had with ePEP has been the Pupil Premium Tracker, a resource which allows our Designated Teachers to request Pupil Premium Plus funding via specific targets on the child’s PEP. These funding requests are submitted to our team for approval, and funding is allocated to the schools based on need. Having worked with ePEP for a number of years now, we’d find it incredibly difficult to revert to paper based PEPs. ePEP has been a very positive addition to our authority.
