Answer: The Personal Education Plan is a statutory requirement and it is the responsibility of the child’s Social Worker to ensure that each child has a PEP in place. The PEP is the vehicle to document agreed actions and progress drawn up from a multi agency meeting, with contributions from all involved with the child’s education. It is most important for the child to be fully involved in the PEP process. - Related Link
