    Can't answer yes or no.:

    Paragraph 23.59 ALN Code 2021 states that considerations other than those listed may be relevant depending on the circumstances.

    Such considerations must include the views, wishes and feelings of the child which will be relevant as to whether the placement is appropriate: TM & SM v Liverpool City Council [2024] UKUT 201. The duties under s.9 Education Act 1996 may also be relevant. More: >02.16 Will the operation of section 9 be the same under ALNET? 

    Such considerations may also include:

    • Efficient use of resources: para 2.40 ALN Code 2021
    • The resources available within the school and the demand on those resources.

    The impact of placing the child at that particular school.
