Minutes:
Members considered the petition and noted that the issue is
already being taken forward by the Senedd's Children and Young People Committee
(CYPE). They acknowledged that the matter remains a live issue for the subject
Committee, with ongoing progress in reviewing the definition of ALN Universal
Provision, and noted the comprehensive report from the President of the
Education Tribunal, which is expected to inform CYPE’s legacy report.
In light of this, the Committee agreed to thank the petitioner and close the petition.

Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition and expressed sympathy with the petitioner’s campaign, recognising the importance of scrutinising the implementation of the ALN reforms to ensure the system functions effectively. It appears that the Cabinet Secretary is addressing these concerns and is due to make a statement to the Senedd in July, while the Children, Young People and Education Committee (CYPE) continues to actively monitor the situation.
Members agreed to keep the petition open while awaiting the Cabinet Secretary’s statement and, in the meantime, to refer the petition to CYPE given its ongoing review of the ALN reforms. However they also emphasised the importance of avoiding duplication of work already being undertaken by another committee.
