Article 7.39 Use of website by education administrator to deliver a particular document
This rule applies for the purposes of section 246B of the Act.
An education administrator who is required to deliver a document to any person may (except where personal delivery is required) satisfy that requirement by delivering a notice to that person which contains—
a statement that the document is available for viewing and downloading on a website;
the website’s address and any password necessary to view and download the document; and
a statement that the person to whom the notice is delivered may request a hard copy of the document with a telephone number, email address and postal address which may be used to make that request.
An education administrator who receives such a request must deliver a hard copy of the document to the recipient free of charge within five business days of receipt of the request.
A document to which a notice under paragraph (2) relates must—
remain available on the website for the period required by rule 7.41; and
be in a format that enables it to be downloaded within a reasonable time of an electronic request being made for it to be downloaded.
A document which is delivered to a person by means of a website in accordance with this rule is deemed to have been delivered—
when the document is first made available on the website; or
when the notice under paragraph (2) is delivered to that person, if that is later.
