    No. Reviews should be carried out as often as required by the circumstances: 25.3 ALN Code 2021

    Para 25.14 ALN Code 2021 sets out a number of factors relevant to considering when to commence a review, which include:

    • Changes which may affect the CYP’s ALP, such as transition to a new stage of educaiton, school or institution.
    • Evidence of changes to the CYP’s ALN.
    • Where another docment relevant to the CYP is going to be reviewed (such as a Individual Health Plan (IHP) or Care and Support Plan).
    • The intended outcomes and target date for achievement of these. 

    However simply because there is no limit does not mean a review must be carried out each time this is requested. A review need not be carried out where this is unecessarry: s.23(8) ALNET & ss.24(7) ALNET

    More: >05.11 When will it not be necessary for a maintained school or FEI or LA to review the plan at the request of the CYP or Child’s parent?
