  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThis Order makes amendments to secondary legislation in consequence of Part 3 of the Children and Families Act 2014 (the “2014 Act “) which replaces Part 4 of the Education Act 1996 (the “1996 Act”) for children in England.\nFrom 1 September 2014 a child in England with special educational needs will no longer be assessed for a statement under section 324 of the 1996 Act but for an educational, health and care plan (an “EHC plan”) under section 37 of the 2014 Act. Part 3 of the 2014 Act also extends provision of an EHC plan to a young person replacing learning difficulty assessments under section 139A of the Learning and Skills Act 2000 (the “2000 Act) in England.\nPart 4 of the 1996 Act and section 139A of the 2000 Act will continue to apply to children and young persons in Wales.",
