Plans and assessments
As a looked-after young person, you have access to a range of plans and assessments, designed to support your education, health, and prepare you for adulthood.
Personal Education Plan
Your Personal Education Plan (PEP) is a personalised learning plan that identifies your individual learning needs and puts a plan in place to meet those needs, so that your own expectations - and those of others - are raised and your chances enhanced.
This plan is reviewed once a term at a meeting, which you will attend, along with your allocated virtual school officer, social worker, school and carer/key worker.
Health assessments
The health assessment is an opportunity for you to see a doctor or nurse and ask any health questions that are important to you. Our looked after children's health team will talk with you about subjects such as healthy eating, exercise, smoking, relationships, mental health and sexual health. You can have your weight and height checked, and receive information about health issues. The health assessment will take place 4 weeks after you become 'looked after', then every 6 months for those under 5 and once a year for those aged 5 to 18.
You can contact our looked after children's health team by emailing cnw-tr.lookedafterchildren@nhs.net or calling 01895 488860.
Pathway plan
Every young person aged 16 to 21 (or up to 25 if in full-time education) will have a pathway plan. The pathway plan is a document that is completed together with you and other professionals who are directly involved with you.
It will include:
- information on the best way to support your independence and adulthood
- your hopes for the future
- your views, wishes and needs.
Your plan will be reviewed every 6 months to ensure that it is up to date and records your current needs.
You should be given a copy of your pathway plan. If you don't have one, ask your personal advisor.
