SBC Care Plan + 2025

Guidance for completing a Care Plan +

Often in settings, we have children who need a more specific and considered approach to support their health and wellbeing. The Care Plan + was devised to support this.

This document should be created with parents/carers and other professionals (as appropriate) to ensure a holistic and consistent approach.

Practitioners should identify any significant challenges the child is currently facing in ELC and use their interests and strengths to support them to overcome these.

Practitioners should identify strategies to support the child for positive outcomes in these situations.

All practitioners should read and discuss the strategies to ensure that the implementation of these is consistent across the setting.

Depending on the child, the length of time that the strategies are needed or are effective for will differ. For example, if the child is distressed by loud noises (and this is a sensory sensitivity) this plan will most likely be in place for longer than if the distress is leaving a parent as they transition into ELC.

The Care Plan + needs to be reviewed regularly for this reason.

If the strategies are ineffective then they should be reviewed and adapted to encourage success.
