The Education (No. 2) Act 1986 (Amendment) (No. 2) Order 1994
Articles 3 and 4 of this Order substitute new paragraphs 1 and 2 of Schedule 3 to the Education (No. 2) Act 1986. These now provide that as well as notifying parents of a pupil permanently excluded from a county, voluntary or maintained special school (or the pupil himself if aged 18 or over) of the right of appeal, the body responsible for making appeal arrangements must explain the consequences of failure to appeal in time, and of giving notice of intention not to appeal. In the case of an aided or special agreement school this would be the governing body of the school. For other schools it would be the local education authority. Notice must be given in writing.
