Putting Children and Young People at the heart of Outcomes Planning

London Region 1 SEND Reform Partnership

What is a Person Centred Approach?

Being “Person-Centred” is a way of

Thinking of things from the child’s point of view

Listening to what the young person wants, helping plan with them - not for them

Enabling children/young people to think about what THEY want, now and in the future

Supporting children to plan their lives, work towards their goals and get the right support

Watch the clip…

What are the parents’ concerns?Does Daniel have the same

concerns?

Brandon Trust Travel Buddy Project

That’s me. I am wanted… haha! Well…I’m off to Santigate to do some writing. Mondays…I get the bus on Monday…go to the Vibers.

Wednesday…I get the ah…76 bus again to the uh Misfits. Friday I do the same again. The best thing is when I play music. I always sing by myself.

I get my ipod out…get my microphone out…get my earplugs on and I start singing just mouth the words..hahaha…that’s what I do all the time!

So umm being independent has really helped me along. That feeling is really good. It’s fun if you are on a bus…getting around seeing my mates...look at the windows…look at the shops…I…ah… like going to the cinema and things…I um look at that and see what’s on.

It made me more confident doing the Travel Buddy thing. Yeah would recommend travel thing. Fantastic! It’s really good!

Developing and Writing SMART Outcomes

London Region 1 SEND Reform Partnership

Start with an Aspiration….

It may seem difficult – but mostly families want the same for their child as anyone else:

To be as independent as possible

To be healthy

To have good mental health, be happy

To be able to work or volunteer for something they enjoy doing

We just need to adapt these ideas to suit the child

Aspirations

By the very nature of the word, these “aspirations” need not be realistic

Unlike Outcomes, aspirations have no legal “teeth” but do need to be detailed on the Plan

Can be whatever the child/young person wants

Helps everyone better understand what motivates them

A useful starting point to form an Outcome

By the time I’m……..(age or Year group)

I’m… doing/maintaining etc.

Questions:

What would success look like?

How will you know when it has been achieved?

Ensuring an Outcome is “SMART”

Weeks/terms to a year = School Targets (ISPs, IEPs, LSPs)

Medium TermTo the next transition

stage /phase = Outcomes

( detailed in the EH&CPlan)

Long Term

Timeline Guidance

Timeline Guidance

What could be a short term target for a higher functioning young person = IEP

Could be a long term Outcome for a child with very complex needs = EHCP

Outcomes and Provision (if say 13)

Who will appoint the friend/carer ?Who will teach me the “H” help signs if there’s a problem?Is there an App that would help me navigate?Who will get the bus pass?

Writing Quality Education, Health and Care Plans

London Region 1 SEND Reform Partnership

Describes positively what children and YP can do

Also clearly describes their needs and provision

Clear, concise, understandable and accessible

SMART

A Quality EH&C Plan

Quality of EHCP reliant on quality of advice and information, inc that from parent/carer, children and young people.

All need to ensure that advice given is based on Outcomes

Ideally Advice/Reports used should not be more than 12 months old – under 12 months, LAs should not seek new Advices
