EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order brings into force provisions of the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 (“the Act”).

The Act establishes a statutory framework for supporting children and young people with additional learning needs. This replaces the legislation surrounding special educational needs and the assessment of children and young people with learning difficulties.

The provisions listed in article 3 come into force on 1 January 2022 in relation to certain persons. The Order does this by excepting from that commencement persons who fall into a category set out in article 4 on 1 January 2022. The categories excepted include those over compulsory school age and those engaged with the current statutory framework. This includes those who have identified special educational needs (see article 2).
