25. Quotes from professionals
The family centred and child centred nature of the MSPs and EHCPs is fantastic, and will I'm sure change the focus of how we make provision for children, and give parents ownership, break down barriers etc
I am sure there will be lots more issues  as we trial the plans but my verdict is despite the workload they are definitely worth it, a huge improvement  and a much more holistic way of working with children. Thank you to everyone for their support so far.

26. My child taking part
We can say we think they are feeling, when they are involved, they tell us.
I got a lump when she brought home part one, as I didn't know she was thinking that.
It makes you stronger as a parent as well. It makes you go more forward rather than hold back.’

27. Having a my support plan before the EHCP worked fantastically. It
meant all the evidence for an EHCP was in one place and ensured
everyone worked together which until the MSP was non existent.
The plan gives a bigger picture covering both the child and the family.
Parents have a bigger say. Everybody involved has a better
understanding of child's life and needs

28. Feedback from families
For me it was really straightforward and simple. Very easy. My friend went through the previous system and I thought it was going to be awful.
This is the best meeting I have ever been to.
All of the points of concern were covered: Dad
I was worried it would be going over the past again and I was really pleased it was focusing on the future: Mum
Just wanted to say that from a family point of view we think Lily’s plan is excellent. It so clearly shows Lily as an individual, her strengths as well as her needs. Her needs are clearly expressed and actions targeted against them, and they cover the areas that are important to her/us not just educational aspects. Although we still have a way to go in toileting the additional help the school put in to help with social skills mean that she now makes friends and is so much happier.

30. ‘Since the plans everyone has listened- definitely’.’
Now if anyone asks, it is all in one place. Having everyone together they all know things. Everyone knows what is going on.
‘Since the plans everyone has listened- definitely’.’
Declan had a statement, it s what everyone else put down. We didn't have much part in it. Everything seems better. It is definitely better than before. Before we came home with a piece of paper with targets on.
