    Can't answer yes or no.:

    There is no right of appeal against a decision by the LA to direct that a maintained school prepare/maintain an IDP under s.14(2) ALNET.

    However, the governing body of the maintained school, the CYP or parent of a child may request that the LA take over the plan under s.28 ALNET. A CYP or Child’s parent can appeal against a decision of the LA to refuse to take over the plan: s.28(2)(i) ALNET

    There is no obligation on the LA to consider taking over the IDP where the LA has previously considered a request by the CYP/Parent/maintained school and the CYP’s needs have not materially changed and there is no new information which would materially affect the decision: s.29 ALNET

    BUT, a CYP or Child’s parent can also appeal against a decision of the LA to refuse to decide to take over the plan under s.29 ALNET: s.28(2)(l) ALNET
