IDP Writer for Wales

This tool can support teachers in writing an IDP for a learner in Wales. Simply provide the year group and ALN focus of the learner. For best results, be specific about the needs of your learner without entering personal details - and remember to always adapt the outcome of the AI to match the exact needs of your learner. This tool has been designed by considering the requirements outlined in Chapter 23 of the ALN Code for Wales 2021.
