## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings sections 4 and 164 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 into force on 1 September 2009.
Section 4 inserts a new section 436A into the Education Act 1996 which requires local education authorities to make arrangements to establish the identities of children in their area who are not receiving suitable education.
Section 164 inserts a new section 537B into the Education Act 1996. This allows the Welsh Ministers to make regulations requiring information to be provided about children receiving education outside school which is funded by a local education authority and makes provision about sharing such information.
