What is a PEP?

A Personal Education Plan (PEP) is a document describing a course of action to help a child or young person reach his/her full academic and life potential.

The PEP should be put together and be completed at a meeting in which the designated teacher, social worker and carers for the young person in public care are present.The child or young person should also be part of their education planning, either at the PEP meeting itself or through discussions outside that meeting.
