    No: s.48(6) ALNET. However, the exclusion would still need to be lawful and compliant with the legal framework relating to school exclusions in Wales.

    See further: Welsh Government Guidance: Exclusion from Schools and Pupil Referral Units (April 2024). Schools should avoid permanently excluding learners with an IDP other than in the most exceptional circumstances: Exclusions Code para 1.16.3.
