Answer: Every child and young person in public care needs a Personal Education Plan. This should be completed with the child/young person and all the relevant people involved in their life, to ensure they can achieve the best they can from their education. It is an opportunity to explore access to services and support; to reduce the risk of broken schooling; agree tasks to be completed, in order for goals to be reached; and most importantly it will be the child’s record of achievement and progress, including academic and non-academic achievements. - Related Link
