Capita has launched new software to assist local authorities with meeting their statutory requirement to provide a Personal Education Plan (PEP) for every looked-after child in the UK.

Capita Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is the assessment provider for the Department for Work and Pensions in England and Wales and for the Social Security Agency (SSA) in Northern Ireland, assessing over 200,000 PIP claimants every year.

While technology offers many opportunities in the quest to deliver a more proactive and efficient customer experience, it’s the human interactions between brands and their customers that often make the difference, writes Oli Freestone, Institute Lead at Capita.
