Additional Learning Needs (ALN)<\/h1><\/div>

The Welsh Government is changing the way that children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) will be supported.<\/p>\n

The Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 makes provision for a new statutory framework for supporting children and young people with additional learning needs (ALN) from the age of 0-25:<\/p>\n

\u201cTo support the creation of a fully inclusive education system where all learners are given the opportunity to succeed and have access to an education that meets their needs and enables them to participate in, benefit from, and enjoy learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ALN system aims to transform the expectations, experiences and outcomes for children and young people with ALN placing learners\u2019 views at the heart of the process.<\/p>\n

From September 2021, this system began to come into force with a three-year phased implementation period. A series of links and documents below provide additional information on the Act.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Learning Needs (ALN) Act, which will transform the separate systems for Special Educational Needs (SEN) in schools and learning difficulties and\/or disabilities (LDD) in further education, to create a unified system for supporting learners from 0 to 25 with ALN.<\/p>\n

Information for Parents and Carers<\/h1><\/div>

\u2018Parents have a fundamental role in helping their child to achieve their potential. The child is far more likely to achieve their outcomes and potential when parents are actively involved and their views, wishes and feelings are taken into account\u2019 (ALN Code WALES 2021).<\/p>\n

The links below are aimed at providing additional, accessible information for parents and carers to ensure they are able to play an active role in helping their child achieve their fullest potential.<\/p>\n
