  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations set out the requirements to be met in relation to the foundations of foundation and foundation special schools to which section 23A of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (“SSFA 1998”) applies. For these purposes, a foundation is a foundation established otherwise than under SSFA 1998: it is not a “foundation body” as defined in section 21 of SSFA 1998. They also provide for the Secretary of State to have certain powers in relation to the charity trustees of such foundations.\nRegulation 3 provides that the foundation must be either a company limited by guarantee or by shares registered under the Companies Act 1985 or a body incorporated by Royal Charter.\nRegulation 4 and the Schedule set out the circumstances in which a person is disqualified from acting or continuing to act as a charity trustee of a foundation.\nRegulation 5(1) enables the Secretary of State to remove any charity trustee of a foundation in the circumstances set out in regulation 5(2).\nRegulation 6(1) enables the Secretary of State to appoint a person to be a charity trustee of a foundation in the circumstances set out in regulation 6(2).\nRegulation 7 sets out the procedure to be followed by the Secretary of State in removing or appointing a charity trustee under regulation 5 or 6.\nRegulation 8 provides that a direction made by the Secretary of State under regulation 5 or 6 is to have the same effect as an order of the Charity Commission for England and Wales under section 18 of the Charities Act 1993.",
