  Can't answer yes or no.:

  The phased introduction of the ALN will be completed by August 2025. Many learners have already been brought across but for some year groups, schools were able to issue IDP notices either in the school year 2023/2024 or 2024/2025.

  Children and young people may still fall under the ALN system, if they:

  • were assessed as having special educational needs under the SEN system as of 1 September 2022, or were part of an ongoing process under the SEN system ; AND
  • have not yet been issued with an IDP notice, no IDP notice or ALN notice; AND
  • they fall within one of the following year groups for the school year 2024/2025. (These are different depending on whether the learner has a statement of SEN or not.)

  If they are in a maintained school, pupil referral unit or educated other than at school and have special educational provision through school action/school action plus.:

  • Year 3, 5 or, 9.

  If they have a statement of SEN:

  • Year 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 or 10.

  These learners must be issued with an IDP or no IDP notice by 30 August 2025. Even if a notice has not been given by that date, they will automatically move to the ALN system on 31 August 2025. (After 31 August 2025, there may still be some learners under the SEN system if there are ongoing Tribunal appeals or the local authority has not yet complied with an order made by the Tribunal under the SEN system.)
