The statutory assessment (Wales)

Changes to the education system in Wales

A new system of support for children with additional learning needs (ALN), called the ALN framework, was introduced on 1 September 2021 to replace the existing special educational needs (SEN system).

Statutory assessments are part of the old system of support for children with ALN, and no new assessments are taking place.
