The pupil has an important role to play in creating their PLP by identifying their strengths and difficulties in learning and giving their views about what the school can do to help them make the best progress possible.

The school should seek and listen to the child’s views about how they learn effectively and should focus on the strategies that work best for them.

It is important that pupils with SEN know that what they have to say will be respected, listened to and, where appropriate, acted upon, taking into account their age and understanding.
