EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Education (Supply of Information about the School Workforce) (No. 2) (England) Regulations 2007.

Regulation 8(2) is amended to include the administrator of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme as a person to whom the Secretary of State may supply the information referred to in Schedule 1 in respect of qualifying workers or qualifying trainees.

Schedule 1 is amended to provide that the same information must be supplied, if requested, in respect of all qualifying workers and qualifying trainees who have been employed or otherwise engaged to work at a school or for the authority for a period of at least 28 days. There is no longer a distinction between the information to be supplied in respect of school teachers and teaching assistants, and other qualifying workers and qualifying trainees.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
