Sometimes, yes. Where a CYP is at a special school or college, rather than a mainstream placement, that may be a factor to be taken into account in allowing greater flexibility: East Sussex CC v TW [2016] UKUT 528 (AAC)#41.
However “even for children in specialist provision, the requirement of specificity cannot be abandoned where detail could reasonably be provided”: B-M and B-M v Oxfordshire CC (SEN) [2018] UKUT 35 (AAC) #5.
