Country-specific guidance
Do not assume an EHCP, US IEP or another country's process applies here. Use the local education framework and current official guidance.
What it describes
The plan can describe educational objectives, the level the pupil may achieve and the support needed.
Parent involvement
Government guidance says the school discusses the form of the development plan with parents.
Review
Ask for clear objectives, named support, responsible staff and a review point so progress and unmet needs can be discussed with evidence.
