Statute overview

About this statute

This Part sets up Wales’s additional learning needs system, including codes of practice, duties to assess and plan support, and review and appeal processes. This provision sets out when local authorities or governing bodies must decide, notify people about, maintain, transfer, or stop maintaining individual development plans for children, young people, and detained persons in Wales. Children, young people, and certain parents may appeal to the Education Tribunal for Wales about named additional learning needs decisions and plans, and the Tribunal can make orders, declare capacity, and appoint case friends. This provision amends many education laws for Wales, mostly replacing references to special educational needs with additional learning needs and creating some Welsh Ministers regulation-making powers. This text lists when various sections and schedule paragraphs came into force, were inserted, or were omitted.
