The request may be made by a governing body of a school or <Abbreviation Expansion="Institution in the Further Education Sector">FEI</Abbreviation> – for example where the governing body no longer believes that maintaining the plan and delivering the <Abbreviation Expansion="Additional Learning Provision">ALP</Abbreviation> is within its capability – or by a child, a child’s parent or young person - for example where they do not believe the governing body has proven capable of delivering the ALP required by the child or young person. Where the local authority does decide to take over responsibility for the IDP, the IDP is treated as maintained by the authority under section 14. The decision of the local authority not to take over responsibility for an IDP is challengeable by appeal to the Tribunal under section 70.</Text>
