The Independent Schools (Prohibition on Participation in Management) (Wales) Regulations 2024

Directions given under section 142 of the 2002 Act

8.—(1) The prescribed grounds for the purposes of section 171(1)(a) of the 2006 Act on which a direction under section 142 of the 2002 Act (prohibition from teaching, etc.)(1) was given in respect of the person are grounds relating to the person’s misconduct.

(2) The prescribed condition which must be satisfied in respect of the person (for the purposes of section 171(1)(b) of the 2006 Act) is that, as a result of the direction given under section 142 of the 2002 Act, the person may not take part in the management of an independent school.

(3) Starting with 14 February 2024 persons who fall within section 171(1) of the 2006 Act are to be treated as if the direction given under section 142 of the 2002 Act were a direction given by the appropriate authority under section 167A of the 2002 Act for the purpose of any enactment.

(1)

Section 142 was repealed in part by section 63(2) of, and Schedule 10 to, the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 on 12 October 2009. Article 4 of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (Commencement No 6, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2009 saves the operation of section 142 in relation to directions to prohibit persons from participating in the management of an independent school on grounds of misconduct.
