The Pathway Plan is intended to support seamless planning for young people. It builds on previous plans and assessments and for this reason it includes sections on Identity and Emotional and Behavioural Development. This pathway planning document is in two parts:
Part one records a summary of the assessment of the young person’s needs and abilities
Part two sets out the Pathway Plan for the young person based on this assessment. Arrangements to complete the needs assessment required for the pathway plan and a timetable for this assessment should be discussed and agreed at the young person’s statutory review meeting prior to their sixteenth birthday. The assessment should be completed no later than three months after this date. Where a relevant child does not have a pathway plan then an assessment of need must be completed no later than three months after he/she becomes relevant. Young people must be actively involved in the assessment process to inform and develop their pathway plan. A consultation document ‘My Pathway Plan’ has been developed to support young people to give their views. However methods of assessment should take full account of the young person’s communication skills and mobility requirements. Where a young person requires additional assistance to fully involve them in the assessment process then this must be offered. Assessments must take account of any needs that result from the young person's ethnicity, language, religion, culture, sexuality or any disability or impairment. The following should also be consulted unless there is an exceptional reason not to do so:
The young person’s parents, and/or others with parental responsibility. Other family members who are important to the young person. Anyone caring for the young person – relatives, their foster carer or staff in
residential homes. The young person's school or college. Any provider of health care or treatment for the young person. Any independent visitor, mentor or Connexions personal advisor offering support
to the young person. The Pathway Plan should also take account of any existing assessments and plans relating to the young person. These may include:
Care Plans Stability Meetings Looked After Children’s Reviews Placement Information Record and Agreements Personal Health and Education Plans Health Action Plan Transition Plan
