FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: London, UK, 20 November 2025: New Digital Intelligence (NDI), a leader in flexible and risk-free Generative AI transformation for mid-sized organisations, announces that The Leaf Trust, a Primary and Early Years Trust operating 18 schools serving 5,100 pupils with 750 staff, has adopted NDI’s SARAA (SEN Assessment Request AI Assistant) to streamline and enhance Education, Health and Care (EHC) Needs Assessments for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
EHC Needs Assessments involve extensive paperwork, lengthy timelines, and complex regulatory requirements, demanding time and resources that could support teaching and student support.
At The Leaf Trust, our commitment is to the communities we serve and the unique potential of every child. We are always seeking innovative ways to enhance our operational effectiveness. NDI’s SARAA has been incredibly impressive; it is not just a leap forward in efficiency for our EHC Needs Assessment process, but a crucial tool that ensures we are dedicating maximum time and resources to the front line of education. We believe that flexible Generative AI can be a powerful, accessible force for positive transformation in the education sector.
New Digital Intelligence developed SARAA to help schools, Trusts and Federations tackle the administrative challenges of EHC Needs Assessments, making the process easier, faster, and more compliant.
The Leaf Trust’s rapid and successful adoption of SARAA proves that transformative Generative AI solutions are now flexible, accessible, and essential for organisations of all sizes. Our mission at NDI is to make AI transformations risk-free and impactful, and seeing SARAA directly contribute to better outcomes for children in the primary education sector is a source of immense pride.
The adoption of SARAA marks a significant step in The Leaf Trust’s commitment to leveraging digital intelligence to enhance operational efficiency and support every child in their care.
