The Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Bill proposes to replace the current Special Educational Needs (SEN) framework with a reformed system based on Additional Learning Needs (ALN). The Bill makes provision for universal, statutory Individual Development Plans for all children and young people with ALN.
The Bill also seeks to improve collaboration between local authorities and health boards, as well as establishing a fairer and more transparent system with greater emphasis on disagreement avoidance and dispute resolution.
