Had a very quick look at the ‘Guidelines for HE Progress Files’. It’s an overview document, gives definitions, guidance on how it fits within existing frameworks, benefits, responsibilities etc. It gives a flavour of what they are trying to achieve by introducing the Progress files. There are however no practical steps in how to implement, or what the PDP actually looks like.
I did a bit more digging as to why this programme is failing/failed; there are a few documents on the web evaluating its progress. This one by the OU presents research findings from a survey of HE institutes:

In general it showed that the implementation of Transcripts was going well. PDP progress is slow; there is a lack of clarity in what a PDP really is.
