(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 (Commencement No. 3 and Transitional and Saving Provisions) Order 2021 (“the No 3 Commencement Order”) and the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 (Commencement No. 4 and Transitional and Saving Provisions) Order 2021 (“the No 4 Commencement Order”) which bring into force provisions of the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 (“the Act”). These Commencement Orders make provision for transferring children with certain identified special educational needs to the new law set out in the Act. They contain definitions of “the new law” and “the old law” (see article 1).
This Order inserts articles 16A, 16B and 16C into the No 3 Commencement Order (article 2). Article 16A applies to a child who ceases to be a registered pupil at the maintained school at which the child was a registered pupil on 1 September 2021 (“the first school”). The child will transfer to the new law on the date that the child ceases to be a registered pupil at the first school.
Article 16B applies to a child who also becomes a registered pupil or an enrolled student at another institution (registered at more than one setting) and for whom a local authority in Wales is responsible. The child will transfer to the new law on the date the child becomes a registered pupil or an enrolled student at another institution.
Article 16C applies to a child who becomes looked after by a local authority within the meaning of section 15 of the Act. The child will transfer to the new law on the date that the child becomes looked after by the local authority.
This Order amends the No 4 Commencement Order by substituting a new article 8 which allows a child with identified special educational needs or that child's parent to make a request to the appropriate local authority for the new law to apply to the child.
