Abstract

ABSTRACT Opportunities for children to be involved in the decisions made about them are part of current statutory educational legislation. Person-centred planning (PCP) has been proposed as an appropriate method of meeting statutory requirements to gather pupil views. However, young people within alternative provisions (APs) may lack opportunities to be heard. This paper reports on an action research project with staff from an AP for children at risk of exclusion. Participants opted to trial the use of the PCP approach ‘Making Action Plans’ (‘MAPs’; carried out virtually due to Covid-19 restrictions) and evaluated the project through two focus groups. Findings indicate that (virtual) use of MAPs requires staff to carefully consider their setting’s structure, needs, capacity and capabilities. Pre-meeting preparation and adapting the MAP process with technology improved engagement, access and alternative ways of working. The MAP process provided a range of positive outcomes as a by-product of its implementation.

以人为本的教育规划:探讨工作人员对在另一项规定中使用以人为本框架的看法

让儿童有机会参与有关他们的决策是现行法定教育立法的一部分。以人为本的规划(PCP)已被建议作为一种适当的方法，以满足法定要求，收集学生的意见。但是，在替代条款范围内的年轻人可能缺乏表达意见的机会。本文报道了一个行动研究项目，与AP的工作人员一起研究有被排斥风险的儿童。参与者选择试用PCP方法“制定行动计划”(MAPs);由于Covid-19的限制，该项目以虚拟方式开展)，并通过两个焦点小组对该项目进行了评估。调查结果表明，(虚拟)使用地图需要工作人员仔细考虑其环境的结构、需求、能力和能力。会前准备和采用技术调整MAP过程，提高了参与性、可及性和其他工作方式。MAP进程作为其实施的副产品提供了一系列积极成果。
