- WHAT IS AN EDUCATION PLAN (NI) ?

Any child who has been assessed as being at Stage 2 of the Code of Practice requires an  Education Plan (EP) to be devised by the class teacher and the SENCO.  In Northern Ireland the same plan may be used by a group of children.

In your own words, what is the purpose of an Education Plan?

Use one of the case studies, or the profile of a child you know from personal experience or from teaching, focus on one area of concern and consider who would need to be involved in drawing up his/her Education Plan.
