Where the young person is already undertaking the programme of study, the local authority may not conclude that there is no longer a realistic prospect that continuing to undertake the programme of study as intended at the outset would enable the young person to meet the person’s desired outcomes unless it has taken into account the following factors—
(a)that young people progress at different rates and a young person’s progress towards meeting the desired outcomes may not be apparent until later in the programme of study;
(b)the young person’s expectation of having the opportunity to complete the programme of study as intended at the outset;
(c)whether the young person’s capability to learn has been affected by a significant change in the young person’s personal circumstances or needs.
