BLOG: Writing a good support plan (England)

You have identified that one of the children you care for is currently not developing as expected. You have talked to parents, and they also have similar concerns, so you have decided to thoroughly assess their needs. This has given you a clear understanding of their strengths and the challenges they are facing. You have had a long chat with their parents and your local authority Special Educational Needs and Disability team, and you have agreed that they will need additional support through the ‘Assess, Plan, Do, Review’ cycle’, also known as the Graduated Approach. The next step is to develop and produce a support plan that will support them to develop and learn.
