Additional Level

Where universal supports fail to meet the needs of a child/young person an additional level of planning and support may be required.

What does this look like in practice?

  • Further assessment – review of prior assessment information, chronology, meet with parents, etc.
  • Ask the 5 GIRFEC Questions:
  1. What is getting in the way of this child’s wellbeing?
  2. Do we have all the information we need to help this child?
  3. What can we do now to help this child?
  4. What can my service do to help this child?
  5. What additional help, if any, may be needed from others?
  • Update or create a Summary of Support to be shared with all key staff
  • Creation of a Child’s Plan (or CSP if requested).  The shortened version of a child’s plan is typically used.
  • Some learners may require a Pro-Active Management Plan (PAMP) when a child’s/young person’s presenting
    behaviours are causing significant concern on
    an ongoing basis and present a risk to themselves or others.  This will be included in their child’s plan.
  • A Risk Assessment may also be required when a child/young person is presenting with behaviours which pose a risk to themselves or others.
  • Regular Review Meetings or Wellbeing Meetings with school staff, families and any other agencies involved in supporting the child/young person.
  • Requests for Assistance or Referrals may be made to other agencies and professionals to support the learner.
