    No. A maintained school’s duty to prepare or maintain an IDP for a CYP only ceases when either the CYP ceases to be a registered pupil at the school or in the case of a child, if the child becomes looked after by a local authority: s.31(1) ALNET.

    In the case of an FEI, the duty to maintain an IDP only ceases if the young person ceases to be enrolled as a student at the FEI: s.31(2) ALNET 31(2)

    If the LA is the body responsible for maintaining the CYP’s IDP (under s 14 ALNET), the duty will cease if the LA ceases to be responsible for the CYP or, in the case of a child, if the child becomes looked after by an LA.

    In the case of a looked after child, the duty on the LA to maintain an IDP (under s.19 ALNET) will cease if the child ceases to be a looked after child for the purposes of ALNET Part 2 (see s.15 ALNET), or they cease to be in the area of an LA in Wales: s.31(4) ALNET.

    Further, the duty of the LA or FEI to maintain an IDP will cease to apply at the end of the academic year during which the young person attains the age of 25: s.34(1) ALNET 34(1)
