# I'm Marcus Kamuntu, Sendix's founder

Every walkthrough is with me. Here's why Sendix exists, how I work with schools, and how to reach me.

## Why Sendix exists

Before Sendix, I ran a web agency working directly with schools. One of my clients had a daughter who needed a speech and language therapist. When the family asked for an EHCP, the council's draft said she should have "access to" the support she needed. That doesn't commit anyone to anything.

When the school came to deliver the plan, there was nothing concrete to deliver, and she didn't get the support she deserved. Those vague words were enough for her mother to take it to tribunal. It took six months and half her salary. It was hard on the school too: they were as powerless as she was, because the plan didn't say what anyone had to do.

It made me step back. I started writing a paper on how to fix it, then asked myself why I was writing a paper when I could build the fix. That's how Sendix started.

Schools told us the harder question comes later: is the support working?

## Who I am

I'm in my final year of Computer Science and AI at the University of Dundee, graduating in 2027. I'm based in Dundee and split my time between Dundee and London.

I don't build this alone. Our advisers include former council SEN case officers, SENCOs, and ASN leads in Scotland. They point us in the right direction, so that what we build solves the problem schools actually have.

## What it does

Sendix shows whether each child's support is working, and what should change next, before the review meeting starts. It's for SENCOs in primary, secondary, special and alternative provision schools, and for trusts. Add the plan, reports and what staff know, read the evidence for each outcome and consider what comes next. Staff make the decisions. In Scotland it flags Child's Plans against GIRFEC practice guidance and asks the questions that close each gap, so the practitioner who writes the wording starts from a clear list. Scottish IEP targets are checked against Education Scotland's IEP guidance. A professional decides every change; Sendix does the reading and the drafting.

## How I work with schools

- Every walkthrough is 30 minutes with me, on a fictional plan. No pupil data, on the call or before it, and nothing to sign.
- The product is shaped by conversations with SENCOs and school leaders.
- During a pilot, your staff check every suggestion, and we report how many they accepted and rejected. We don't quote a time saving.
- Your DPO's questions, including what has to be in place before real plans are used, are answered at https://sendix.ai/data-protection.md.
