Can a Local Authority refuse a private diagnosis or request that they are ratified by their own health board?
Under the Additional Learning Needs and Education Tribunal (Wales) Act 2018 (ALNET), support for a child is based on their needs rather than a formal diagnosis. However, in practice, some local authorities or ASD-specific settings require a formal diagnosis, sometimes insisting on NHS confirmation. Waiting lists for NHS assessment are long, creating delays for families. Parents may consider obtaining a private diagnosis.
