Essential upgrade for best-selling Care Plan Organiser
The SCMA Care Plan Organiser has been updated, with a new-look and a new name. The new ‘Personal Plan Organiser’ is one of our best-selling childminding tools – developed alongside the Care Inspectorate - and replaces our original Care Plan Organiser.

An essential tool for childminders is Scotland, the Personal Plan Organiser helps SCMA members create and maintain comprehensive personal plans for each of the minded children in your setting.

The newly launched Personal Plan Organiser now includes:

Updated Personal Plan Guidance, which is now available for all SCMA members to download from the Membership Dashboard
Updated Record of Information
Updated All About Me forms
Updated Medication Permission forms
Updated Record of Medication Given forms
Updated Child Protection documentation
Updated Personal Development Plan
Updated Risk Assessment Forms
Brand new look and design

“Our Personal Plan Organiser is an all-in-one tool to help childminders build comprehensive personal plans for each of their minded children,” said Louise Buchanan, Head of Corporate Services, SCMA. 

“We constantly review its contents, which includes guidance and associated forms, in line with legislation and guidance from the Care Inspectorate and annually publish these updates.  

“In addition to an updated folder design, the main changes this year relate to All About Me, which has been completely reviewed, additional guidance on GDPR, and changes to Medication forms, Child Protection Documentation and the Personal Development Plan.”  

Following guidance from the Care Inspectorate, the ‘Record of Medication Given’ form now includes an addition of why medication was administered and this form should be used in conjunction with the ‘Medication Permission’ form.  The key change to the Child Protection Documentation is the addition of a pro-forma example for recording concerns.

All SCMA members can download the updated Personal Plan Organiser guidance from the ‘Documents’ section of the Membership Dashboard. Login to the Membership Dashboard.

The updated Personal Plan Organiser is frozen and is still only £35, which includes full guidance and six individual Personal Plan Packs, each one designed for one minded child.  

SCMA members can purchase the updated Personal Plan Organiser by calling 01786 445377 or login to the Membership Dashboard.

Individual Personal Plan Packs and updated replacement inserts can all be purchased separately. To find out more, give our friendly team a call on 01786 445377.
