IEP

This includes funding for school-based aides as part of an individualized education program, or IEP, as well as the speech and occupational therapists who work at Head Starts.

The IEP concluded that Bell had "abused his position of power over the complainant".

Carvalho had introduced the idea of an “Individual Acceleration Plan” as early as December of 2022, modeled on the Individualized Educational Program, or IEP, that aims to provide a unique, appropriate education and support plan for every student who has a disability.

A Standards Committee spokesperson said MPs found to have breached the Code of Conduct had a right to appeal to the IEP, which is independent of the committee.

Unlike the cross-party Standards Committee, the IEP is made up only of experts and does not include any MPs.
