wellerkaren Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 hi how long do you need to keep IEPs for. At the moment I have copies going back over 15 years ( since I started being the senco. I was not sure how long I need to keep them for or needed to. Thank you for taking the time to read my post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Crikey, I don't keep them at all, they go with the child once they leave the setting. Have you been told to keep them? the only thing I keep 'forever' is accident forms and safeguarding paperwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 i used to keep them or copies of them until child reached secondary school age.. This did prove very useful when a parent raised a complaint against the school and us about not following a proper care plan for the child and informing them of the special needs etc... we could pull out the records we had kept and it showed we had done all we needed to and passed it onto the school... was really useful to have the records.. seems the school had not taken any notice of them and not even kept them! No idea if you need to or for how long though... just personal experience made us feel the need to keep them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Where does it state that records need to be kept until the child is 21 as I obviously need to look into this? Is it just IEPs for children with diagnosed SEN or any IEP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
