EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order is made under section 1 of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006.

Functions to which Chapter 4 of Part 8 of the Act applies are listed in section 135(1) of the Act and include education and social care functions of local authorities towards children. Article 4 makes consequential amendments as a result of the repeal of section 138.
