Stages on the Code of Practice

The Department of Education is currently finalising a new Code of Practice which will replace the 1998 Code. The new Code of Practice is one of the key elements of the new SEN Framework.  

In the new Code, schools will record children on the SEN register under three stages. 

The children who are receiving additional support in school will receive 3 personal learning plans throughout the year. 

The first of these Personal Learning Plans (PLP) will be sent home on the week beginning the 26th of September. Children and parents will have the opportunity to contribute to their learning plan. PLP’s should be signed by parents and returned to the class teacher.
