A lot of work by a lot of people goes into your care plan, and the plan will be looked at regularly to make sure it’s working for you and to change anything that needs to be changed. This happens at meetings called ‘case reviews’.
No changes can be made to your care plan until they have been discussed at a case review, which is good for you because it means that any changes are agreed by a group of people – including you! – who want to be sure that these changes are right for you.
You will be given a copy of your care plan. It might seem very long and complicated, particularly if you are younger or have learning difficulties, so you might want to ask your carer to go through it with you to help you understand it.
When your care plan is being made your social worker should find out the wishes and feelings of you and your parents, and anyone else who has parental responsibility for you. Your social worker will also talk to people like your doctor and teacher to get information about you. Your social worker should tell you who she is going to talk to.
The information your social worker gets will be used to work out exactly what you need while you are looked after. This will be written down in your care plan.
Also written in your care plan will be the times when certain things should be done.
The plan ought to be written before you go to live in a new place, or if that’s not possible, within 10 days of living in the new place.
