ADEW agreed to provide more detail on a potential opt out option under section 42 of the Curriculum and Assessment (Wales) Act 2021.
The process for the disapplication of pupils from the curriculum is a complex one and the legislation is set out on HwB.

It would be my view that it would be a cumbersome mechanism to use and not necessarily appropriate for every young people who did not want to participate in a residential trip if that was made a mandatory by way of this Bill.
