When her daughter came home crying from school after a misunderstanding with her teacher, Helen Sanderson realised that teachers do not always have time to get to know their pupils. As a Department of Health adviser on person-centred planning, she thought the practice could be adapted for school children.

Since then, four schools have taken up the idea and are using it with every pupil on roll.

Other schools use the system for children that need extra support.
