PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN POLICY

At KLT’s it is our responsibility to ensure that all staff are able and capable within carrying out their roles and responsibilities set out within their job description and have the necessary skills to be able to complete their everyday job role. It is recognised that sometimes staff are unable to do this and may need a little support and motivation to complete tasks and work to the best of their ability. To this end if staff consistently fail to meet their job description and their practice is at an unacceptable standard then a Personal Development Plan (PDP) will be put into place. 

Why would a PDP be put into place? If a staff member is …………
•	not adhering to their job description. 
•	not following companies’ policies and procedures.
•	displaying challenging behaviour and attitude.
•	Refusing to carry out an instruction from a member of management 

What are the aims of a PDP? to help a staff member………
•	become more effective and consistent with their practise.
•	understand how they can personally develop and improve.
•	develop a positive attitude.
•	receive support and guidance from management.

Some of the reasons you may be placed on a PDP could be for lateness, sickness, behaviour management, attitude, not adhering to EYFS welfare requirements, poor planning, next steps and observations. There are many more 

What will happen if a PDP is not adhered to:
•	First written warning
•	Final written warning
•	Dismissal
