Completing an EHCP alongside a PEP
- Is the SENCO (where appropriate) involved in the PEP? Are the DT and Social Worker involved in EHCP reviews?
- Childrens' PEPs should work in harmony with their EHC plan to, coherently and comprehensively, set out how their needs are being met. Professionals should consider how the EHC plan adds to information about how education, health and care needs will be met without duplicating information already in a child's care plan or PEP. Equally, the child's care plan, including PEP, should feed into the care assessment section of the EHC plan.
- The PEP is a record of the child's education and training. It should describe what needs to happen for a child we look after to help them fulfil their potential and reflect, but not duplicate, any existing plans such as EHCP.
