Answer: It is recommended that the Personal Education Plan be reviewed at the same time as the care plan, for example, within 28 days, 3 months, 6 months etc. This is to ensure the link between the Personal Education Plan and the Care Plan. However, the Personal Education Plan maybe reviewed at any such time that changes occur within the child’s education or at the request of the child themselves. Educational decisions should not be agreed without first reviewing the PEP. As review dates may prove difficult to arrange, due to coinciding with school holidays arrangements should be made to ensure that review dates are at least every 6 months. - Related Link
