SL(6)116 – The Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 (Consequential Amendments) (No. 3) Regulations 2021

Procedure: Made Negative

These Regulations are made in consequence of the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 (“the Act”). That Act reforms the law on education and training for children and young people with additional learning needs. These Regulations make consequential amendments to the following regulations:

· The Police Act 1997 (Criminal Records) Regulations 2002;

· The Education (Information About Individual Pupils) (Wales) Regulations 2007; and

· The Education (Information about Children in Alternative Provision) (Wales) Regulations 2009. 

The consequential amendments to secondary legislation relate to enhanced criminal record certificates and to the provision of information about additional learning needs and individual development plans. The amendments are considered necessary or expedient to ensure that there is appropriate provision within the sets of Regulations being amended in light of the additional learning needs (ALN) system being partially in force and the repeal of section 347 of the Education Act 1996.

These Regulations come into force on 18 January 2022. The Welsh Government’s Explanatory Memorandum provides that further amendments to other secondary legislation are likely to be made in due course, in consequence of the 2018 Act.
