    Yes. The governing body of a maintained school, FEI or an LA may review the IDP at any time and revise the plan following a review: ss.23(9), 24(8) (for looked after children) ALNET.

    A review must also be carried out when: 

    • the CYP or child’s parent requests this, unless the body maintaining the IDP considers a review to be unecessarry: s.23(8) ALNET & ss.24(7) ALNET
    • the plan includes ALP that an NHS body required to secure under s.20 ALNET and the NHS body asks for the IDP to be reviewed: s.23(7) & 24(6) ALNET
    • the child becomes looked after by the LA: s.24(9) ALNET & s.83 of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014.
