The Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (Consequential Amendments) (England and Wales) Order 2010
Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Order makes amendments that are consequential on the dissolution of the Learning and Skills Council for England (“the LSC”) by the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (“the 2009 Act”). The LSC is dissolved by section 123(1) of the 2009 Act. Its functions in relation to education and training for those over compulsory school age are re-distributed, between local education authorities (Part 2 of the 2009 Act, in particular section 41), the new Young People’s Learning Agency for England (“the YPLA”) (Part 3 of that Act) and the new Chief Executive of Skills Funding (Part 4 of that Act). Schedule 6 to the 2009 Act makes some of the amendments to primary legislation needed as a result of this re-distribution of the LSC’s functions; the amendments in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Order are additional to those made by Schedule 6.
