Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order is made under the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (“the 2009 Act”). Part 3 of the 2009 Act establishes the Young People’s Learning Agency for England (“YPLA”) and sets out its functions. Part 4 of the 2009 Act establishes the office of Chief Executive of Skills Funding (“CE of SF”) and sets out that person’s functions. The 2009 Act repeals those sections of the Learning and Skills Act 2000 which make provision for the Learning and Skills Council for England (“LSC”) which is dissolved.

This Order makes consequential amendments to subordinate legislation necessary as a consequence of the dissolution of the LSC, establishment of the YPLA and the CE of SF and further duties placed on local authorities.

References to the LSC within the subordinate legislation have been removed and either omitted or, where appropriate, replaced with a reference to the YPLA, local authority or CE of SF.

References to repealed sections of the Learning and Skills Act 2000 have been either omitted or, where appropriate, replaced with references to current legislation.
