(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into force provisions of the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 (“the Act”).
The Act establishes a statutory framework for supporting children and young people with additional learning needs. This replaces the legislation surrounding special educational needs and the assessment of children and young people with learning difficulties.
The provisions listed in article 2 come into force on 1 September 2022 in relation to persons not over compulsory school age who are involved in the statutory framework of the Children and Families Act 2014 (for example, an education, health and care plan is being prepared or maintained in relation to the person).
