Individual Support Plans (ISPs) will be tailored to the individual child. They will be developed by settings together with parents and young people, giving every child or young person with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) a clear and consistent record of their needs and the help they receive so that support is joined‑up, timely and centred on what will help them to thrive.

ISPs will set out key information, such as a child or young person’s identified needs, provision, intended outcomes and any reasonable adjustments, as applicable.
