88.Section 30 together with section 11(3)(d) ensures that where a child or young person attends a maintained school or FEI in Wales and another school or FEI (which need not necessarily be in Wales) and a local authority is responsible for the person, responsibility for determining if the person has ALN, and preparing and/or maintaining a plan for them lies with that local authority and the equivalent duties on the governing body of the school or FEI do not apply. The governing body must refer such matters to the local authority.
