Section 5 of the Disabled Persons (Services, Consultation and Representation) Act 1986 (disabled persons leaving special education) is amended as follows.
In the following provisions of this section and in section 6 a person in respect of whom the appropriate officer has given his opinion that he is a disabled person is referred to as a “disabled student”.

Where, in the case of a disabled student over compulsory school age who is receiving relevant full-time education, that is— full-time education at a school; or full-time further or higher education at an institution other than a school; it appears to the responsible authority that the student will cease to receive relevant full-time education on a date (“ That notification shall state— his name and address; and the leaving date; and shall be given not earlier than twelve months, nor later than eight months, before the leaving date.
