    Can't answer yes or no.:

    A learner who is unable to attend their education setting because of their healthcare needs should have their educational needs identified and receive educational support quickly so they continue to be provided with suitable education. The nature of the provision should be responsive, reflecting the needs of what may be a changing health status, see: The Additional Learning Needs Code for Wales 2021 (gov.wales)  Supporting Learners with Healthcare Needs (p.19).

    • If a CYP has an IDP and is admitted to hospital for a sustained period, it may be appropriate or necessary to review the IDP: para 18.18 (a) ALN Code 2021
    • Where EOTIS provision is required for a sustained period, it may be appropriate for the LA to take over the IDP: para 18.18 (b) ALN Code 2021.
    • If a CYP is returning to maintained school or FEI following a period of absence, it may be appropriate for the LA to direct the maintained school or FEI to take over responsibility for the IDP.
