Consultation description

This consultation welcomes your views on draft new non-statutory guidance for local authorities and schools on initiating, developing and reviewing personal education plans (PEPs). The aim of the guidance is to:

  • support local authorities and schools or settings to make the PEP process more meaningful and impactful for children looked after
  • set the context for local authorities to discharge their statutory duty under the Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014 to ensure each child looked after should have a high-quality PEP until they have finished statutory education
