Post 16 Personal Education Plans (PEPs)
Central Bedfordshire Virtual School uses our own electronic PEP. Here are the links to the Post 16 PEPs we use:
In addition to the above, there are NEET PEP (PEP document for your people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training) and IPEP (Initial PEP documents for young people who are new into care) documents. These PEPs are completed by the Educational Advisors supporting the young person in the absence of an educational setting.
The duty to promote the educational achievement of children in care extends to looked-after young people aged 16 or 17 preparing to leave care. As such, personal education plans (PEPs) are statutory for 16-17 year olds. If a young person has turned 18 it is considered good practice to continue with PEPs throughout academic Year 13 if the young person gives consent.
PEPs will take place each term resulting in 3 meetings a year. Education Advisors from the Virtual School will attend and chair all post 16 PEPs and work with the young people, educational settings, social care, fostering services and other outside agencies to ensure PEPs for KS5 are of the highest quality.
