The New Additional Learning Needs and Educational Tribunal (Wales) Act
As of September 2021, there have been a number of changes that will be implemented all of which are outlined in the new ALN legislation.
The new act aims to:
- ensure that all learners with ALN are supported to overcome barriers to learning and achieve their full potential
- improve the planning and delivery of support for learners from 0 to 25 with ALN, placing learners’ needs, views, wishes and feelings at the heart of the process
- focus on the importance of identifying needs early and putting in place timely and effective interventions which are monitored and adapted to ensure they deliver the desired outcomes
The video below has been produced by WAG and will give you more information about the up and coming changes.

Please note the new ALN changes will be rolled out starting Sept 2021, WAG anticipate a 3 year programme before it is fully rolled out throughout Wales.
