ALNCo for our school: Mrs Amy Edwards

The SEN system changed from September 2021 to a new 'Additional learning needs ' (ALN) system.

The Welsh Government is changing the way that children with special educational needs (SEN) will be supported. The new system defines SEN as Additional Learning Needs (ALN). The law is changing for several reasons : the main one is to make the process simpler and more transparent for all involved (see below for more details)

For those pupils on the ALN register, there will be a Person Centred review followed by an Individual Development plan (IDP) being written in consultation with school staff, parents and the child. 

To keep you up to date, please see a range of documents below including:

• An ALN Parent Guide - this outlines the key changes.
