# The Education (Admission Forums) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2007, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Admission Forums) (England) Regulations 2002 and come into force on 27th February 2007.
They make provision for the representatives of maintained schools, subject to certain exceptions, to be members of the admission forum in their local authority area, and prescribe the tenure of such ‘school members’, the procedure for their nomination and for the nomination of alternate members.
They prescribe, for the purposes of section 85A (1A) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (inserted by the Education and Inspections Act 2006) the matters that a forum may include in its report published under that subsection.
They prescribe for the purposes of section 85A (1B) of the SSFA 1998 (inserted by the EIA 2006) the information a forum may request from local authorities (either in the area for which the forum was established or in an adjoining area) and governing bodies of maintained school for the purposes of preparing such a report.
They require notification of meetings of a forum to be given at least one week in advance and for there to be a majority vote before a forum exercises its power to refer an objection to the adjudicator under section 90 SSFA 1998.
