SEN and Alternative Provision
SEN and alternative-provision settings hold some of the most sensitive records in education: psychological assessments, diagnostic reports, therapy notes and the health detail that sits inside every education, health and care plan. Leaders want to automate the drafting, review and tracking of those plans and to build genuinely bespoke accommodations for each learner, but the underlying material is UK GDPR Article 9 special-category health data that should not be shipped to a public cloud or a third-party processor. Mickai puts every AI capability inside the setting, on hardware the setting owns and under keys it holds, so EHCP automation, case summarisation and accommodation planning all run locally. The data never leaves the building, and no third party ever sees it.
SEN schools and alternative-provision settings drafting and managing statutory education, health and care plans.
Psychological, diagnostic and therapy records are UK GDPR Article 9 health data that must not leave the setting for a public cloud or third-party processor.
Mickai runs EHCP automation, case summarisation and accommodation planning entirely on hardware the setting owns, under keys it holds.
Each learner gets bespoke, well-evidenced accommodations while the health data never leaves the building and no third party ever sees it.
Five advantages hold across every sector, and they are architectural, not promotional. The third-party cloud-exposure vector is removed; your own physical, insider, and compliance controls remain yours.
The data never leaves your hardware, so no third party and no cloud-provider employee ever sees it. What happens in the server room stays in the server room.
You own the compute and the capability, so the system runs independent of the internet and of any cloud vendor's pricing, terms, or availability.
The data never crosses a geographical or digital border because it never leaves the building, which removes the cross-border-transfer and third-party-processing friction of UK GDPR, Schrems II, and the sector rules. You keep your own obligations.
Fine-tune and run retrieval on your deepest archives to build a hyper-customised co-pilot, with no risk of your proprietary edge training a public model or leaking.
After the hardware and licence, queries cost essentially electricity. A capital asset you own and depreciate, instead of volatile per-token cloud bills.
There is no third-party cloud path, so no competitor and no vendor insider can scrape, intercept, or subpoena your prompts or your fine-tuned weights from the internet. The trust vault is closed by architecture.
You own the software snapshot on your own hardware, so a change to a cloud vendor's terms, a model deprecation, or an outage cannot reach you. The system stays predictable and auditable on-premise as the rules evolve.
The specific rules that bar mainstream cloud AI from this sector's regulated data. Each one demands a named, auditable perimeter the operator controls, which a shared multi-tenant cloud cannot give.
The kind of organisation this serves, named illustratively from public information to characterise the market. These are target profiles, not customers: Mickai has no relationship, engagement, trial, or endorsement with any of them.
The enterprise studios that lead in this sector, drawn from the eighteen that sit on the one sovereign substrate. Each runs on hardware the organisation owns, under one set of operator-held keys, writing to one Open Audit Record.
Clinical and Medical Records
Structures and summarises the psychological assessments, diagnostic reports and therapy notes that feed each plan, keeping all Article 9 health data inside the setting.
Training and LMS
Turns each learner's accommodations into bespoke, trackable learning and intervention plans, and trains staff on the supports without exporting any pupil record.
Compliance and Regulator Mode
Maps EHCP workflows and retention against the SEND Code of Practice and UK GDPR, and produces the evidence trail an auditor or the ICO would expect.
CRM
Holds the relationship and casework view across pupils, families, local authorities and external professionals so every contact and review sits in one local record.
HR
Manages the SENCo, teaching-assistant and therapist staffing, supervision and safeguarding records that underpin delivery of each plan.

SEN and alternative provision is expanding as EHCP demand rises and settings face mounting administrative load, yet most education AI tooling routes sensitive pupil data through shared cloud services that SEN leaders are right to refuse. That leaves a clear opening for an in-house system that automates the paperwork while keeping every health record on the setting's own hardware.
Money won, money saved, risk removed, on hardware you own.
Settings reclaim staff hours lost to manual EHCP drafting and review and redirect them to direct support, while removing the third-party cloud-exposure vector for Article 9 health data; physical and insider controls remain the setting's own. Recurring per-seat cloud-AI subscriptions are displaced by capability the setting owns outright, and the cross-border-transfer and external-processing friction is removed, though the setting keeps its own data-protection and safeguarding obligations.
