This Order brings into force in England, on 1st September 2015, Chapter 4 of Part 3 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (c.15) (“the Act”) which amends sections 11 and 12 of the Higher Education Act 2004 (c.8) by expanding the list of higher education providers which are required to join the student complaints scheme. The expansion means that all those institutions delivering courses which are specifically or automatically designated to receive student support funding and providers with degree awarding powers will be required to join the scheme.
This Order includes a transitional provision to make clear that, in respect of the new “qualifying institutions”, only complaints relating to acts or omissions that occurred on or after 1st September 2015, or that continue to occur on or after that date, may be reviewed by the designated operator of the scheme. Pursuant to the Secretary of State’s power to designate under section 13(1) of the Higher Education Act 2004, the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education has been the designated operator of the scheme for England since 1st January 2005.
