Section 6 Director of education
For each diocese, there is to continue to be a director of education.
The director of education for a diocese is appointed by the bishop of the diocese after consultation with the DBE.
Each person who is the director of education for a diocese immediately before the commencement of this section continues as such after that commencement in accordance with the terms of the person's appointment; but, after the commencement of section 3(10) and Schedule 2, this subsection has effect subject to subsection (5) of this section.
The person who is the director of education for a diocese—
serves also as secretary to the DBE for the diocese, but
is not a member of the DBE, and
where the DBE is a separately registered charity, is not a charity trustee of the DBE.
Where there is a joint DBE, there is a single director of education for both or all of the dioceses appointed by the diocesan bishops concerned acting jointly; and subsection (4) accordingly applies to both or all of the dioceses.
The director of education for a diocese may speak at any meeting of the DBE but may not vote.
