Details Of The Training
When progress depends on support, need may call for ALP. Learn how to apply the s.2 ALNET threshold in practice.
Many Individual Development Plans (IDPs) are challenged not because provision is missing – but because learner need has not been clearly recognised or explained in Section 2.
As schools move toward Ordinarily Available Provision (OAP) frameworks, there is growing pressure to demonstrate responsiveness to support before recognising Additional Learning Needs (ALN). However, where progress remains contingent upon sustained adaptation – such as adult mediation, scaffolded routines or environmental adjustment – this may indicate a persistent requirement for provision in order to make progress independently.
This masterclass is designed for ALNCOs, senior leaders and practitioners responsible for identifying when a learner’s needs may call for Additional Learning Provision (ALP) under Section 2 of the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018.
