Regulation 4 Compliance with alternative arrangements directionI1

This regulation applies when a local authority—

The local authority must secure that the education to be provided under the alternative arrangements, in accordance with the alternative arrangements direction, is provided from the closure date until the alternative arrangements direction is revoked in accordance with regulation 6 (2).

The “closure date” is the date specified in the closure direction for the discontinuance of the unit.

The duty imposed by paragraph (1) does not affect the local authority’s duty under section 19 of the Education Act 1996 (exceptional provision of education in units or elsewhere).
