Additional Learning Needs (ALN)
Parent Advice and Guidance.

Additional Local Authority resources are available that aim to explain the system and processes in more detail. Click on link below for ALN Information, Advice and Guidance including definition of ALN, duty of local authorities, key roles and resources plus the planning and review process. There is also a useful Jargon Buster and details of resources available.
