Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):
(1)For section 548 of the M1Education Act 1996 there shall be substituted—
(1)Corporal punishment given by, or on the authority of, a member of staff to a child—
(a)for whom education is provided at any school, or
(b)for whom education is provided, otherwise than at school, under any arrangements made by a local education authority, or
(c)for whom specified nursery education is provided otherwise than at school,
cannot be justified in any proceedings on the ground that it was given in pursuance of a right exercisable by the member of staff by virtue of his position as such.
(2)Subsection (1) applies to corporal punishment so given to a child at any time, whether at the school or other place at which education is provided for the child, or elsewhere.
(3)The following provisions have effect for the purposes of this section.
(4)Any reference to giving corporal punishment to a child is to doing anything for the purpose of punishing that child (whether or not there are other reasons for doing it) which, apart from any justification, would constitute battery.
(5)However, corporal punishment shall not be taken to be given to a child by virtue of anything done for reasons that include averting—
(a)an immediate danger of personal injury to, or
(b)an immediate danger to the property of,
any person (including the child himself).
(6)“Member of staff”, in relation to the child concerned, means—
(a)any person who works as a teacher at the school or other place at which education is provided for the child, or
(b)any other person who (whether in connection with the provision of education for the child or otherwise)—
(i)works at that school or place, or
(ii)otherwise provides his services there (whether or not for payment),
and has lawful control or charge of the child.
(7)“Child” (except in subsection (8)) means a person under the age of 18.
(8)“Specified nursery education” means full-time or part-time education suitable for children who have not attained compulsory school age which is provided—
(a)by a local education authority; or
(b)by any other person—
(i)who is (or is to be) in receipt of financial assistance given by such an authority and whose provision of nursery education is taken into account by the authority in formulating proposals for the purposes of section 120(2)(a) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, or
(ii)who is (or is to be) in receipt of grants under section 1 of the M2Nursery Education and Grant-Maintained Schools Act 1996; or
(c)(otherwise than as mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b)) in any educational institution which would fall within section 4(1) above (definition of “school”) but for the fact that it provides part-time, rather than full-time, primary education.”
