Personal development,
made measurable.
PDAM Group provides an evidence-driven framework that turns personal development and wellbeing into measurable, tangible outcomes — aligned with EHCP requirements, Ofsted's inspection framework, and statutory reporting standards.
What is PDAM?
A framework built for evidence. Designed for outcomes.
The Personal Development Assessment Model (PDAM) is an evidence-driven methodology that gives organisations a structured, systematic approach to assessing, tracking, and reporting holistic growth — across five personal development domains.
Developed by experienced school leaders and SENCos, PDAM transforms anecdotal reporting into statutory-quality evidence — producing tangible outcomes that satisfy EHCP requirements, Ofsted scrutiny, and commissioning standards.
