How can digital tools better support young people with additional needs?

We developed native iOS and Android mobile applications for Gateshead SEN to improve accessibility, communication and engagement for young people and families accessing support services.

The apps were designed to provide a simple, mobile-first experience that made important information and resources easier to access at any time.

Key features included:

  • Native iOS and Android mobile applications developed for performance and accessibility
  • User-friendly interface designed around the needs of young people, parents and carers
  • Dynamic content management powered by a custom backend platform
  • Push notification functionality for important updates and announcements
  • Secure cloud-hosted infrastructure to support reliability and scalability
  • Responsive and accessible user experience across a range of mobile devices

The platform was built using AWS, Django, Swift and Kotlin, providing a scalable and maintainable solution for long-term service delivery and engagement.
