It is our goal for every child with additional needs should have a single support plan which details what agencies and the family will do to produce better outcomes.
The plan should be owned by all of the practitioners involved with the child, young person or family.
We have produced a local template which can be used to draw up the support plan.
In reality there are a lot of tools which are used to support planning for individual children, young people and families. Examples include the Family Service Plan (used with young children with disabilities), the Individual Support Plan (used by the Amber Programme) and Care Plans used for children in care.
We currently do not have a single agreed template in Gateshead so what is important is that the document that is completed is owned by all practitioners involved with a family, not what it is called.
