The Electronic PEP (ePEP)

The Electronic PEP (ePEP)

Introducing the ePEP

Somerset Virtual School has introduced an electronic Personal Education Plan (ePEP) for its looked After Children. This is accessible for all schools with a Somerset CLA on roll. We have commissioned Welfare Call to manage the ePEP for us.

The website from which the ePEP is generated is https://extranet.welfarecall.com

A letter introducing schools to the ePEP process was sent to all setting with a Somerset CLA on roll on April 15th 2021. A copy of that letter can be accessed here Somerset Introduction to the ePEP Letter

From September 2021 we are operating an entirely electronic system for our PEP and will only be accepting ePEPs submitted through our system. If you have any questions about the electronic PEP process or any issue accessing the website, please email thevirtualschool@somerset.gov.uk
