All sections of the assessment should carry information that is correct and up to date at the time of writing. The idea is to create a picture of what is helping or stopping this child from achieving certain goals.

AnalysisWhat does the assessment information mean for the child? Where do we go now? Whatcould we do? What should we do? What can be done?

Ensure analysis covers all 3 sides of the My World Triangle (MWT). This doesn’t mean that every domain (the clouds) is filled out only comment on relevant domains of MWT.

In this section we record our thinking on the implications and impact of the evidence we have about the child relating to all the elements included in the My World Triangle Assessment. This will help us move on to the next phase in the child’s journey

Strategies/Approaches Support strategies should relate directly to the factors outlined above and

should remove barriers to learning, risks related to care and welfare.

In this area we want to detail what we are doing to help get the child moving on in either the short or long term. This could be a list of what has been done for example a referral to speech and language has been made or that child should be allowed access to a time out area when stressed ( there are lots of examples ) .
The information in this area can be very directive and address general issues in learning, social understanding as well as health and wellbeing issues.

OUTCOMES

Usually last a year. They should clearly link to the evaluation and analysis information and should be an outcome for the child or young person. Everyone who supports the

child /young person must refer to these. Highlight the relevant WBIs. Safe, Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected & responsible, Included

Desired Outcome 1 S H A N A R R I (Highlight WBIs) / Complete
by date / Success Criteria
Outcomes are specific changes, benefits, learning and effects that actually happen or are expected to happen as a result of our action and interventions. They should always be related to specific WBI’s. For example:
Safe: Katy is free from exposure to physical abuse and violence within the home
Healthy: Ryan has a strong loving attachment to his primary carer
They can be expressed using terms like ‘engages in education’, ‘is less anxious’, ‘is more confident’, ‘maintains positive relationships’, ‘feels safe and secure in school’. It is often useful to write them in the present tense / These are the steps that help a child achieve an outcome. Success criteria describe what success looks like when a step leading to an outcome is reached.
They are specific and measurable. They allow a child to know they have achieved a step towards their desired outcome.
Success criteria help partners to the plan decide whether the desired outcome has been achieved.
Actions / Interventions / By Whom / Achieved by date / Evaluation
This is a description of what partners to the plan have to do to help secure an outcome. Actions and interventions will allow partners to the plan to take things forward which help progress towards the outcome. / This is the name of the person taking forward the action. / This is a date / This is where we note our method of evaluation AND at review what our evaluation is.
How we evaluate the action
  • Parent / Child / Young Person report
  • Observations of child/ young person
  • Teacher feedback

View of Child/Young Person (appropriate to the age and ability of the child/young person and with assistance if needed)

It is important that the child’s views are recorded no matter what their age and stage. Very young children can express themselves in other ways if they are not vocalising. Children and young people who can express themselves should have their own words written down. Remember, it might not always be positive.

View of Parents/ Carers (should include view of the plan and how they expect to be involved)

It is important that this area is filled out accurately by staff following the plan being viewed by the parents or carers.
