The challenge

Local authorities face growing demand, shrinking resources, and increasing scrutiny. Getting sufficiency right, running presumption competitions fairly, and ensuring EHCP funding is allocated accurately are complex, high-stakes responsibilities, and the consequences of getting them wrong are significant.

How PAG helps

We give authorities the independent expertise and rigorous evidence base they need to make confident, defensible decisions. Our team understands the statutory frameworks, knows what good commissioning looks like, and brings a track record of delivering assessments and competitions that stand up.
