  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Education (School Teachers’ Qualifications) (England) Regulations 2003, which set out the requirements which must be satisfied in order to be a qualified teacher.\nThe amendment made by regulation 2 will allow persons to undertake practical teaching experience, for the purposes of initial teacher training, in a pupil referral unit. It will also allow persons to undertake initial teacher training while being employed to teach at a pupil referral unit as part of an employment-based teacher training scheme.\nThese Regulations also amend the Education (Specified Work) (England) Regulations 2012, which provide that only certain persons may lawfully carry out specified work in a school. Specified work is defined in regulation 5 of those Regulations.\nThe amendment made by regulation 3 will remove the condition that an instructor may only carry out specified work if no suitable qualified teacher or teacher on the employment based training scheme is available. It will also remove the restriction that an instructor may only carry out specified work for such period of time as no suitable qualified teacher or teacher on the employment based training scheme is available.\nAn impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on businesses or civil society organisations. This instrument has a minimal impact on the public sector.",
