Wales: additional learning needs and IDPs

The ALN system Wales uses its own system for additional learning needs. Children and young people with ALN may have an individual development plan (IDP), maintained by the school or the local authority.

Opening a conversation If you think equine-assisted support could help, raise it with the school's ALN co-ordinator (ALNCo) during IDP planning or review. Decisions about provision and funding are made through that process.

Where to get advice Contact your local authority's ALN team, or SNAP Cymru for free independent advice.
