Amit Chahal — Co-Founder

I work at the intersection of UK SEND, specialist education and children’s residential care — focused on building governance-led systems that protect safeguarding standards, strengthen accountability and deliver measurable long-term outcomes for children with additional needs. The UK SEND system is under sustained structural pressure. Rising demand. Increasing EHCP complexity. Local authority funding strain. Workforce shortages across specialist provision. Growing gaps between statutory responsibility and delivery capacity. These challenges are systemic. My focus is strengthening specialist education and residential children’s care through disciplined governance, transparent commissioning frameworks and sustainable funding models that protect provision quality. As Chair & Trustee of Apex Care Foundation, I support frameworks that enable: • High-quality SEND and specialist education provision • Residential children’s care standards and Ofsted compliance • Safeguarding leadership and risk oversight • Local authority commissioning accountability • Impact measurement and transparent governance • Sustainable infrastructure models aligned with long-term child outcomes Specialist provision must be child-centred and structurally sound. Compassion without governance fails. Governance without sustainability collapses. Long-term resilience requires: • Policy clarity • Funding discipline • Operational transparency • Measurable outcomes • Responsible leadership Alongside this, as Co-Founder of Apex Invest, I explore governance-led funding structures supporting real-world infrastructure. The aim is to ensure capital strengthens essential services — including specialist education and children’s care — without distorting safeguarding standards, compliance or provision quality. Areas of interest and dialogue include: • SEND reform and national policy direction • EHCP process improvement and delivery consistency • Specialist school capacity and placement sustainability • Residential children’s home governance models • Ofsted frameworks and quality assurance • Public sector commissioning strategy • Social infrastructure funding models • Education system resilience and long-term planning If you work in SEND, education leadership, children’s services, safeguarding, local authority commissioning or sustainable social infrastructure, I welcome thoughtful, evidence-led dialogue. The goal is simple: Build systems that work for children first — and endure beyond political cycles. Long-term systems require long-term thinking.

Chair & Trustee

May 2025 – Present · 1 yr · Greater London, England, United Kingdom · Hybrid

Apex Care Foundation Ltd is a UK charity focused on supporting children with disabilities, young people with special educational needs (SEND) and vulnerable families through sustainable, outcome-driven models.
Our mission is to strengthen specialist education and children’s care provision by prioritising quality, transparency and long-term impact.
The UK SEND system is under increasing pressure. Rising demand, complex EHCP processes, funding constraints and inconsistent provision continue to affect children and families across the country. We believe meaningful reform requires not only policy discussion, but operational excellence and responsible funding structures.
As Chair & Trustee, my focus includes:
Supporting specialist SEND education and residential children’s care initiatives
Promoting measurable outcomes and evidence-based impact
Strengthening governance, safeguarding and compliance standards
Encouraging sustainable funding models that protect quality provision
Leveraging data and transparency to improve accountability in children’s services
We advocate for a system where capital enables care rather than compromises it — aligning financial sustainability with child-centred outcomes.
Apex Care Foundation operates with a forward-thinking approach, exploring responsible use of technology and data to enhance transparency, reporting and long-term planning within education and social care settings.
Further information about our mission, governance and strategic framework is available here:

If you work in SEND, education leadership, children’s services, safeguarding, local authority commissioning or social impact strategy, I welcome meaningful collaboration and dialogue.

Apex invest

Co-Founder & Director

Nov 2024 – Present · 1 yr 6 mos · London Area, United Kingdom · Hybrid

Co-Founder of Apex Invest Global Ltd, a UK-based real-world asset investment platform focused on responsible capital allocation, governance-led growth and long-term infrastructure development.
Apex Invest was established to improve structured retail access to tangible assets while embedding transparency, accountability and disciplined risk management at the core of capital deployment. Our approach prioritises regulatory awareness, investor protection and sustainable funding models that support real-economy assets.
A key strategic pillar is the alignment of private capital with essential social infrastructure — including specialist education, SEND provision and children’s residential care. The objective is to develop funding structures that strengthen long-term provision quality, improve accountability and reduce systemic strain across public services.
In the UK, rising demand for SEND support, increasing EHCP complexity and local authority funding pressures require innovative but responsible financial frameworks. My work focuses on exploring how governance-led capital structures can support education infrastructure without compromising safeguarding, compliance or outcomes.
Areas of leadership include:
Strategic planning and long-term capital allocation
Real-world asset structuring and underwriting oversight
Governance frameworks and compliance standards
Sustainable finance aligned with measurable social impact
Transparency in reporting and investor accountability
Integration of technology to enhance operational oversight
Development of infrastructure models supporting education and care provision
The underlying principle is clear: capital should enable essential services, not distort them.
By aligning sustainable finance with social infrastructure, Apex Invest aims to demonstrate that long-term financial discipline and meaningful societal impact can coexist within responsible investment frameworks.
