  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations prescribe the provision of accommodation and care or nursing to a pupil of a special school as a “regulated service” for the purposes of Part 1 of the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016 (“the Act”) and will require a person providing such a service to register under the Act.\nFor the purposes of these Regulations, special schools are schools, whether or not maintained by a local authority, which provide additional learning provision for pupils with additional learning needs.\nThis service is referred to as a Special School Residential Service.\nRegulation 4 is a transitional provision which suspends the effect of section 5 of the Act for existing providers of any special school residential services which are included in an application to register before 1 July 2024.\nThe Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
