Recommendation 1 Met

1. To ensure children are supported to achieve their potential, the manager should develop personal planning which clearly identifies children’s progress and achievements, along with relevant and achievable next steps in learning. This is to ensure that children's needs are planned and met. To achieve this, plans should; • set out how children's needs will be met, including strategies of support • record how children have progressed. • be reviewed every six months or more often if the child's needs a change. • be shared and updated with children, parents and carers. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'As child, my personal plan (sometimes referred to as a care plan) is right for me because it sets out how my needs will be met, as well as my wishes and choices' (HSCS 1.15).
