The Local Education Authorities and Children’s Services Authorities (Integration of Functions) Order 2010
This order repeals the definitions of “local education authority” in section 12 of the Education Act 1996 and the definitions of “children’s services authority in England” and “children’s services authority in Wales” in section 65(1) of the Children Act 2004. It then amends the definition of “local authority” in the Education Act 1996 and replaces it with new definitions (including separate definitions of “local authority in England” and “local authority in Wales”). It also inserts new definitions relating to “local authority” in the Children Act 2004 (again with separate definitions of “local authority in England” and “local authority in Wales).
