Notes
-
This field should be completed on the basis of the learner's self-assessment. It is recognised that many learners for whom information is recorded in this field will not be able to identify themselves as having learning difficulties. This information will be recorded as a result of interviews with learners, their parents, guardians, teachers or advocates.
-
Codes 1, 2 and 3 are only available for continuing learners who started before 1 August 2015.
