Education and Skills Act 2008

2008 CHAPTER 25

Commentary on Sections

Local education authority

Legal background
Part 1: Duty to participate in education or training: England
Chapter 5: Attendance notices
Section 60: Review of initial operation of Chapter

62.Chapter 5 of Part 1 makes provision about the actions and proceedings that may be taken if a young person fails to fulfil their duty under clause 2 to participate in education or training. Section 60 provides for a review of, and report on, the initial operation of that Chapter. It is the Government’s intention that this review will be conducted by a person independent of the Government. Under clause 173, Part 1 must be fully in force by the school leaving date for 2015 (and will have come into force for certain year groups before then). The period reviewed will, therefore, cover the first full year for which Part 1 is in force.
