Commentary on Sections Section 56J: Notification by Chief Executive of Skills Funding of possible grounds for intervention
358.This new section requires the Chief Executive of Skills Funding to notify the responsible local education authority and YPLA if he has concerns about post-19 provision at sixth form colleges. The local education authority, or the YPLA where it is involved under its powers in section 56H, must have regard to the Chief Executive’s views when considering whether to intervene. This is the mirror provision of section 56D.
359.Paragraphs 9 to 15 make further consequential amendments including to definitions of terms used in the new sections.
