To support young people's ongoing development, the service should ensure their care planning documents are in accordance with SMART principles, complement each other and take young people’s views into consideration. This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: "My personal 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).

Recommendation 3
