Evidence for Learning (EfL) is a platform and ecosystem of apps that support the learning and development of children, young people and adults with SEND or any additional learning needs.At its centre is a powerful, yet simple to use app for capturing and assessing learning where traditional assessment approaches don’t adequately reflect the true journey of the learner. EfL has had a positive impact on the quality of education in hundreds of schools through supporting systematic approaches to capturing and evidencing learning and progress in small steps and using that information to support genuine collaboration and co-production across the whole team including the role of families and clinicians / professionals. Evidence for Learning has been designed and developed in close collaboration with specialist and mainstream settings and is used in 90% of specialist schools and colleges in England and Wales, as well as hundreds of mainstream settings up and down the country. Internationally, EfL has been adopted in schools in the US, Australia and various countries across Asia.
