  Most children and young people who have a school action plan, school action plus plan or statement of SEN will have been given an IDP notice by their school or local authority. This notice confirms that the child or young person has been assessed as having additional learning needs and the new law will apply to them from the date of the notice. The timeline for issuing an IDP (usually 12 weeks for local authorities, 35 school days for schools) will begin from the date the IDP notice is given.

  If a child or young person’s learning needs have changed, the school or local authority may give a “no IPD notice”, which states that the child or young person has been assessed as not having additional learning needs. The new law will apply to the child or young person from the date of the notice. Parents can ask the local authority to reconsider the decision.

  In some specific circumstances, local authorities may issue an “ALN notice”. This brings the child or young person over to the ALN system without the local authority taking a decision about whether the child or young person has additional learning needs.

  Where a child was due to be given an IDP notice or a no IDP notice by the end of a school year as part of the phased approach, and the school or local authority has not given them a notice, they will automatically be brought over to the ALN system on 31 August of that year under the automatic end of year transfer provisions contained within the Commencement Orders for the ALNET. see: Moving additional learning needs (ALN) Parents Guide
