Commentary on Sections Part 1: Apprenticeships, Study and Training Apprenticeship Frameworks: England Section 15: Recognised English frameworks: notification and publication
56.This section requires the English issuing authority to publish recognised English frameworks which it issues and to notify the Chief Executive of Skills Funding of the issue of a framework and send him a copy of the framework. Subsection (3) requires a person withdrawing a framework to publish notice of this and to advise the Chief Executive of Skills Funding of the withdrawal. Subsection (4) permits the English certifying authority to publish a recognised English framework or a notice of withdrawal however it chooses; but the effect of section 13(3) is that in doing so the English certifying authority would still be required to have regard to guidance from the Secretary of State.
