Abstract
Aims:
The purpose of the initiative was to improve pastoral planning and give ownership of the process to individuals and families by using multimedia person-centred plans to capture the voice, skills, aspirations and needs of the individual.
Methods:
Participants included two school champions, pupils, parents/carers, teachers, and professionals, all working together to create multimedia person-centred plans to improve attendance, engagement, and outcomes. The methods used were two school 'champions' undertaking a 12 week training programme and leading group sessions with young people, and using online Wiki Sites to create multimedia Person-Centred Plans.
Findings:
The main findings are that using online Wiki Sites to create multimedia Person-Centred Plans has improved attendance, engagement from multi-agency teams, and pupil achievement. It has also built IT skills and self-confidence, created more effective support networks, and improved opportunities for aspiring, learning and achieving.
Implications:
The findings suggest that using multimedia advocacy can improve attendance, engagement, and achievement of SMART targets, as well as build IT skills and self-confidence. It also creates a more effective support network focused on improving outcomes.
