(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Information About Individual Pupils) (Wales) Regulations 2007 (“ the 2007 Regulations”).
Regulation 5 of the 2007 Regulations prescribes persons who may be provided with individual pupil information by the Welsh Ministers under section 537A(4) of the Education Act 1996. These Regulations insert a new sub-paragraph (i) into regulation 5(2) so as to add to the prescribed list of bodies to which individual pupil information may be provided (regulation 2(2)).
The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
1996 c. 56. Section 537A was inserted by section 20 of the Education Act 1997 (c. 44)and was substituted by the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (c. 31), Schedule 30, paragraph 153 and sub-section (1)(a)(i) was further amended by S.I. 2010/1158.
The functions of the Secretary of State under these sections were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales by the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 ( S.I. 1999/672) and then to the Welsh Ministers by paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).
The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service is a company limited by guarantee registered in England No. 2839815.
