Regulation 9 Manner of consultation

In relation to admission arrangements for the initial year, consultation by an admission authority under section 89(2) shall consist, at least, in sending each admission authority which they are required to consult’s a written copy of the proposed admission arrangements and inviting their comments.

For the purpose of information, the written copy of the proposed arrangements sent for the purpose of consultation shall include any provision of the proposed admission arrangements to which, by virtue of section 103(1), section 89 does not apply; but the consulting admission authority may indicate on the written copy by any appropriate means that comments are not sought on that provision.

References in this regulation to sending a written copy of proposed arrangements include transmitting this written material in electronic form, except in any case where there are grounds for believing that the intended recipient is unable to make use of it in that form.
