It is a statutory requirement that every Looked After Child has a Personal Education Plan (PEP) that should be monitored and updated, along with the Care Plan.
 
  • A PEP is a way of supporting the education of a young person in care .
 
  • It is a mechanism for consulting, listening to and involving the young person in their educational experience.
 
  • The PEP should be preventative.  It should minimise delay, flagging up particular needs and lead to priority action.
 
  • The process should strengthen joint working and corporate parenting.
 
  • The PEP is intended to enhance stability, achieve continuity and raise the expectations and self esteem of the young person.
 
  • It acknowledges achievement and celebrates success.
