There are lots of changes happening in Wales that affect the way in which we support our learners with Additional Learning Needs (ALN)
The Act makes provision for a new statutory framework for supporting children and young people with additional learning needs (ALN). This replaces existing legislation surrounding special educational needs (SEN) and the assessment of children and young people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities (LDD) in post-16 education and training.
