(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations modify the period within which independent special schools and grant aided schools are required to respond to requests for information (and requests for reviews of responses to such requests for information) under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002. Independent special schools and grant aided schools must comply with requests under that Act within twenty working days not including any working day which is not also a school day, or within sixty working days, whichever is the earlier.
