EOTAS in Wales – Online Parent Clinic (Learn Without Limits CIC)
Overview
Event Description
About this session
If you’re a parent or carer in Wales exploring Education Otherwise Than At School (EOTAS), this live online clinic offers a safe, supportive space to ask questions, learn the process, and understand what to expect.
This session is hosted by Learn Without Limits CIC, a parent-led organisation offering practical, evidence-informed guidance on the ALN system in Wales. We are not lawyers or clinicians — we are parents helping other parents navigate a complex system with clarity and confidence.
What we’ll cover
- What EOTAS is under the Additional Learning Needs & Education Tribunal (Wales) Act
- How EOTAS relates to your child’s Individual Development Plan (IDP)
- Common misconceptions (e.g. “EOTAS means no qualifications” — not true)
- What local authorities must consider when school is not working
- How to request EOTAS
- What the panel process usually looks like
- What parents can realistically expect in Wales
- Answers to your questions (live Q&A)
Who this session is for
- Parents and carers navigating ALN in Wales
- Families facing reduced timetables, school refusal, or unmet needs
- Parents preparing to attend an IDP review
- Anyone unsure about the EOTAS process and looking for practical guidance
- Young people and disabled adults are welcome too — your voice matters.
What this session is not
- We do not give legal or medical advice.
- We will not tell families what decision to make — instead, we help you understand the process so you can make informed choices.
