(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order brings section 246 of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 into force on 1st April 2026.

Section 246 inserts a new section 93A into the Education and Inspections Act 2006. The inserted section 93A requires the governing body of each school in England to ensure that their school has a procedure for recording significant incidents of the use of force on pupils by members of staff, and for reporting those incidents to the parents of pupils involved (unless informing a parent would put the pupil at risk).
