Can the PEP and the LAC review be run together?
No. The LAC Review is the young person’s meeting to review their whole care plan. It is therefore not appropriate to hold a detailed discussion about education at the LAC review. Further the PEP needs to inform the education part of the LAC review and therefore needs to be completed at least two weeks before the LAC review. The PEP must be sent to the Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO) prior to the LAC review.
