Person Centred Planning: Resources
The SEND Code of Practice is very clear in promoting the involvement of children, young people and parents/carers in decision-making around SEND.
In order to support the process, there are a range of supportive tools and ideas to engage you. Here's a few local and national tools to look at:
- "The EHCP and the Person-Centred connection" - A video from the Council for Disabled Children (CDC)
- “A quality and rights-based framework for Practice” - An evidence-based research report shared with DfE by the “Ripstars”, a local group of young people with SEND, and Coventry University
- Person-centred resources can be extracted, adapted and printed, from the National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTi)
- The MAP tool, inspired by Inclusive Partnerships - A strengths-based co-production tool that captures the voice of CYP to support next steps for Preparing for Adulthood.
There are also a range of other practical tools to think about and plan for support.
- One Page Profiles (OPP) - examples of an engaging and interactive technique to capture important information about a child on one sheet
- Download an example of a One Page Profile of the SENDIASS Children and Young Person's Officer
- "All About Me" a local secondary school's co-production resource which can be adapted to use with young people
