Overview
If your child has additional needs, you can work with the people that support your child to put together a support plan. In Essex we call this a One Plan.
The plan is part of a cycle of 'assess, plan, do, review' or 'One Planning'. In the SEND Code of Practice it is called 'the graduated response'.
How it can help your child
A One Plan should identify:
- who is going to do what
- when they're going to do it
- how often
- for how long
It should be a working document which means it can be reviewed and changed over time.
How the plan is made
A One Plan is developed, shared, and used by all the people working with the child or young person.
It should include information from the child or young person, you as the parent or carer and professionals.
