Objectives
 To provide information about how the
management tool was developed.
 To explore some of the underlying principles
behind the development of the tool.
 To share practical examples of the tool in action
with anonymised exemplars.
 To facilitate discussion about how the tool could be
used in your setting.
Why do we need a PPPP?
 To provide consistency when a lot of
staff in the school may encounter the
child.
 To provide practical strategies for
staff to use.
 To empower staff who may be less
familiar with the child and his/her
needs.
 To provide information for supply
staff and cover teachers to help them
manage the child’s needs.
How is the information gathered?
From a variety of sources with the main objective of personalising it
to the child and making it useful and relevant to the staff. It could
come from;
 Assessments such as Boxall, PAT, Aston Index
 Reports or advice from outside agencies incorporating
recommendations
 Agreements for action from multi-disciplinary meetings
 1:1 work with the child
 Information supplied by parents
How is the information organised?
The underlying principle is that it is informative and practical without
breaking confidentiality and being too sensitive. The following headings
are used as a basic standard;
 Additional Learning Needs;
 How has this affected my behaviour?
 What I need to succeed in school;
 I learn best when;
 You can help if you…

Risk Assessment

I really do want to join in but don’t

might make me;
First or Third Person?
The tone of the document is meant to be a dialogue between the child and
the staff with the emphasis on helping staff understand what it is like
having the difficulty from a child centred point of view.
 First Person – if the child has had some input
 Third Person – if the child hasn’t had input
Either way, it is best practice to include the child and let them know that
the plans are in place
Parental Involvement
It is good practice to include the parent or carer;
 Include in planning meeting
 Send them draft to check
 Ask for any information they would like to be included
 Avoid sensitive or controversial information
 Gain their support
 Inform them that robust plans are in place for their child
Parental Feedback

years ago he would not have ended up like this.’
