Children and Families Act 2014

Wales

Part 3: Children and young people in England with special educational needs or disabilities

45.Part 3 of the Act (sections 19 to 83) makes provision that reforms the special educational needs system. These provisions extend to England and Wales, but the majority only apply in England. Schedule 3 makes consequential amendments to existing provisions so that they apply to Wales only. There will be some cross border effects, where a child or young person in England attends a school or institution in Wales, and the amendment made by section 60 applies in Wales. The amendment does not change the effect of the amended provision as it applies in Wales. Section 70 provides the Secretary of State with a power to make regulations to apply provisions in relation to those in custody, with or without modification. The Secretary of State is required to consult the Welsh Ministers before making any such regulations where they apply to a person who is detained in Wales.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
