  No. The legal ALN framework operates within the wider education system operating in Wales, which operates a different curriculum and approaches than that in England.

  The ALN Code 2021 sets out 5 main principles underpinning the ALN system in Wales. One of which is inclusive education and consequently, “improvements in the teaching and learning of children and young people with ALN cannot be isolated from improvements in the teaching and learning for children and young people across a school or FEI as a whole.”

  Additional Learning Provision is defined with reference to that which is made generally for others of the same age in maintained nurseries, schools and FEIs in Wales: s. 3 ALNET. Consequently, what provision is made within the general mainstream education system is relevant to whether a CYP will be considered to have ALN. 

  One of the other main principles in the ALN Code 2021 said to underpin the ALN system in Wales is “collaboration and integration where services work together to ensure that ALN are identified early and appropriate co-ordinated support is put in place to enable children and young people to achieve expectations, experiences and outcomes”: para 3.2(d) ALN Code 2021.
