    They can appeal some sections of the IDP. These are:

    • 2A: Description of the child or young person’s additional learning needs (ALN).
    • 2B.2: ALP to be provided.
    • 2B.3: Should the ALP be provided in Welsh?
    • 2B.5: Start date.
    • 2B.6: End or review date.
    • 2C.2: ALP to be provided by an NHS body.
    • 2C.3: Should the ALP provided by an NHS body be provided in Welsh.
    • 2C.5: Start date of the ALP to be provided by an NHS body.
    • 2C.6: End or review date of the ALP to be provided by an NHS body.
    • 2D: Place at a named school, other institution or board and lodging. 

     

    In the standard form, these elements are underlined, bold and in red. 

    Where an IDP is maintained by a maintained school, a request can be made to the LA to reconsider and change the plan under s.27 ALNET. A CYP or parent of a child has the right to appeal against the decision of an LA to refuse to change the IDP: s.70(2)(h) ALNET.
