ePEP Training

Our ePEP training is available for school staff, social workers and foster carers who are involved in supporting the education of children in care.

The session will provide practical guidance on using Walsall’s electronic Personal Education Plan (ePEP) system and help you understand your role and responsibilities within the PEP process.

Training will cover how to access and navigate the ePEP, completing the relevant sections, contributing effectively to the PEP meeting, recording the child’s voice, identifying strengths and areas for development, setting meaningful targets and ensuring that agreed actions and support are clearly recorded.

We will also explore what makes a high-quality, child-centred PEP and how schools, social workers, foster carers and the Virtual School can work together to ensure that the PEP is more than a document – it is an effective plan that supports progress, attendance, wellbeing and educational outcomes.

Whether you are new to the ePEP system, new to your role or would simply benefit from a refresher, this session will provide practical advice and an opportunity to ask questions.
