    Can't answer yes or no.:

    Placement within a unit or specialist resource base within a school will generally amount to provision that should be set out in section 2B and not in 2D, but not always.

    If the base or unit is a school/institution in its own right, it will be named in section 2D instead. Whether this is the case is a question of fact considering the factors listed in TB v Essex CC [2013] UKUT 534 (AAC)para 34, and MA v Kensington and Chelsea [2015] UKUT 186 (AAC) para 28 and any other relevant factors. This may for example arise where the unit is on land of a particular school but is run in partnership with several schools and has its own management structure and chain of command.
