Personalised Learning and Support Planning (PLaSP) Process

1. All school aged children and young people in OOHC will have a Personalised Learning and Support Planning meeting undertaken within 30 school days of a notice of the students’ entry into OOHC. In addition, children attending a Department of Education pre-school, will also need to have a Personalised Learning and Support Planning meeting.
2. The Personalised Learning and Support page on the NSW Department of Education website identifies how this process will support students.
3. Contact the school Principal one week after the Notice to School is lodged to arrange a time for the Personalised Learning and Support Planning meeting. The school will arrange a mutually agreeable time with key stakeholders to attend the meeting. Stakeholders may include the caseworker, the child or young person (if appropriate), the carers, the Department of Education support staff and school education staff.
4. The school leads the Personalised Learning and Support Planning to identify education needs. When involved in this meeting, ensure that the strengths of the child or young person are included in discussing personalised learning and support needs. Take notes and request the available shared documentation (learning goals, action plan and/ or meeting notes) from the Principal or the Chair of the meeting.

Recording

It would be best practice to record and maintain notes and action plans for a child or young person on their Case Plan and file.
