Top tips and key considerations
- Review periodically with student in their transition 1-2-1’s
- Discuss with Transition, Dom Care and Learning teams as to has there been any developments, omissions, progress by the student that benefit by being added to the Plan.
- In my experience I have sometimes just focused on one area as some students can find it overwhelming to talk about all the sections of the plan in one sitting.
- This a document that will complement the student review and supplying it with the review has provided a student led perspective at this time.
- Ensure that when plan is reviewed it is signed off by student
- Save copies of the review periodically – this will allow you to track progress in an evidentiary way.
