The Education (Admission of Looked After Children) (Wales) Regulations 2009
These Regulations prescribe the actions to be taken and the circumstances in which an admission authority for a maintained school must give priority in their admission arrangements to a “relevant looked after child” (a child who is looked after by a Welsh local authority within the meaning of section 22 of the Children Act 1989 at the time of their application and who will still be so looked after at the time when he or she is admitted to school).
