    Can't answer yes or no.:

    An LA must name a school or institution in section 2D.2 if:

    • the reasonable needs of the CYP for ALP; 
    • cannot be met unless;
    • the LA also secures a description of provision of a kind to be named in section 2D. 

    Reference: ss 14(6) & (7) ALNET; 19(4)& (5) ALNET, ss.40(7) & (8) ALNET.

    Where the particular school or other institution (including board and lodging) is not a maintained school in Wales, a local authority must obtain the consent of that school or institution before including a description of the provision and securing the provision: ss 14(8)(a) ALNET & 19(6)(a) (for looked after children).
