Purpose and access to your PEP

Purpose of the PEP:

The PEP's purpose is to help the child learn, thrive in school, and achieve the best possible outcomes. It also supports communication and collaboration between the child, their carers, the education setting, and other relevant services. 

Who is involved?

How often to review

PEPs should be reviewed at least once per term, or more if there are concerns about the child's education.  

What is included
