Text of Petition
We call on the
National Assembly for Wales to urge Welsh Government to allocate an additional
budget for schools across Wales, to be able to provide the additional learning
needed for pupils with additional learning needs (ALN) and achieve the
objectives of the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act
2018.
Additional Information
Schools lack
resources for supporting pupils with additional learning needs to ensure they
achieve their potential.
The Additional Learning
Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 states:
"A person has
additional learning needs if he or she has a learning difficulty or disability
(whether the learning difficulty or disability arises from a medical condition
or otherwise) which calls for additional learning provision."
Schools do not currently
have sufficient resources to be able to offer the additional learning provision
that their pupils need.
