Information for foster carers
Why foster carers are important in supporting the education of Looked After Children:
- You can be a good role model and show how important education is by supporting, questioning and guiding the children in your care.
- You can make sure the young person is ready for school and ready to learn.
- You can have high expectations of your looked after children and always encourage them to do their best and achieve more.
- You can challenge others to make sure they provide all the support the young person needs.
How foster carers can help with Personal Education Plans:
- Keep track of PEP dates. If you think a PEP is overdue, contact the young person's school or social worker.
- Talk to the young person before the meeting and help them to give their views during the meeting.
- Raise any concerns during the meeting and offer as much support as you can.
- Log on to ePEP online to view the young person’s PEP
