# The Education (Individual Pupil Information) (Prescribed Persons) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2009

S.I. 2009/213 · made 9 February 2009

The Education (Individual Pupil Information) (Prescribed Persons) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/903) (“the Principal Regulations”) prescribe a relevant local authority as a person to whom the Secretary of State may provide individual pupil information. This instrument amends the Principal Regulations so as to include as a prescribed person any local authority that has reasonable grounds to believe that it may be the relevant local authority in respect of a particular pupil. The definition of relevant local authority can be found in Regulation 2 of the Principal Regulations, and essentially it means a local authority that has responsibility for a pupil.
