Commentary on Sections of the Act

Part 2 – Additional Learning Needs

Chapter 3 – Supplementary Functions.

Functions relating to securing additional learning provision

Section 49 - No power to charge for provision secured under this Part

123. Section 49 ensures that a child, parent (who is an individual rather than a local authority who looks after a child) or a young person does not have to pay for any provision that a governing body or local authority secures for that child or young person under the Act. The section amends the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 to ensure that a local authority’s functions under that Act related to recovering contributions from parents of looked after children towards the maintenance of the child, cannot be used for matters which the authority secures under the Act.
