Explanatory note

These Regulations are made under section 169 of the Education Act 2002 (“the 2002 Act”). Section 169 confers power on the Welsh Ministers to remove an independent school from the register kept under section 158 of the 2002 Act. An independent school can be removed from the register if the Welsh Ministers are satisfied that a person who is subject to a direction, order or decision prescribed in regulation 3 has been carrying out work falling within regulation 2. The power to remove an institution from the register also arises if its proprietors are subject to a direction, order or decision listed in regulation 3.

The directions, orders and decisions listed in regulation 3 have the effect of prohibiting the individual who is the subject of the direction, order or decision from some type of work that may be carried out at an independent school.
