Explanatory Note
Section 19 of the Education Act 1996 (“the Act”) requires local education authorities to make arrangements for the provision of suitable education at school or otherwise than at school for those children of compulsory school age who, by reason of illness, exclusion from school or otherwise, may not for any period receive suitable education unless such arrangements are made for them. Any school established and maintained by a local education authority which is specially organised to provide education for such children is known as a pupil referral unit.
Schedule 1 to the Act provides for regulations to apply enactments to pupil referral units.
These Regulations apply various education enactments to pupil referral units in Wales. They take account of education legislation enacted since regulations were last made applying enactments to pupil referral units in Wales. Those earlier regulations are revoked by regulation 2 of these Regulations.
