Commentary on Sections and Schedules Part 3 – Regulation of Provision of Childcare in England Chapter 5 – Common Provisions Section 93:  Notices
176.Section 93 provides for the methods by which the Chief Inspector may give certain notices to registered providers or applicants, for instance in respect of decisions to refuse registration, impose conditions or cancel registration. It also applies to certain notices which may be given by applicants and registered persons – for example, when giving notice that they wish to be registered on another register or part of a register, wish to be removed from a register or do not intend to object to the taking of a step by the Chief Inspector under section 73.
177.A notice to which section 93 applies may be given by delivering it to the Chief Inspector, sending it by post, or by email. The Chief Inspector may only send notices by email where the applicant or registered person has indicated to the Chief Inspector his willingness to receive information electronically and he has provided an address (which must be used). Email notices to the Chief Inspector must be transmitted in accordance with the Chief Inspector’s requirements.
