EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations make provision for the inspection of education and training by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Education, Children's Services and Skills ("the Chief Inspector"). Certain education is prescribed for the purposes of section 123(1)(h) of the Education and Inspections Act 2006 ("the Act"), thereby bringing it within the remit of the Chief Inspector (regulation 3).

Regulation 4 amends the Education (Grants etc) (Dance and Drama) (England) Regulations 2001 so that education or training in dance or drama is brought within the remit of the Chief Inspector. Regulation 5 provides that information, advice and guidance funded by the Learning and Skills Council ("the Council") is to be treated as training which the Chief Inspector may inspect.

Regulations 6 and 7 set out the requirements for publication of action plans which are required to be prepared following an inspection and report by the Chief Inspector. The provider of the education or training inspected has to write a statement of the action he proposes to take in light of the Chief Inspector's report. That statement has to be published within certain time limits and copies have to be provided to prescribed bodies.

Where the Chief Inspector carries out an area inspection under section 128 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006, he may direct the Council or a local authority to prepare an action plan. Regulations 8 and 9 set out the timescales for publication of the action plan and requirements as to the manner of publication.

Regulation 10 revokes the Post-16 Education and Training Inspection Regulations 2001.
