Assess, Plan, Do, Review (APDR)

Support plans are not a statutory requirement, but they are good practice. A robust plan will ensure that families, CYP and staff are working together towards personalised outcomes. They support a culture where everyone involved in supporting CYP has a shared understanding and responsibility to support them in achieving their outcomes.

This diagram summarises the key elements that should be included in a robust support plan.

Support plans can look different depending on the phase of education and may include:

• SEN Support Plans - for CYP of all ages.  Clear guidance about SSPs can be found here, including exemplars and templates.
• One-Page Profiles  - for CYP of all ages.
• Vocational Profile - for CYP in Year 9 and above.  Clear guidance about Vocational Profiles can be found here, including exemplars and templates.
• Individualised Learning Plan - for Post-16 CYP.
