Sections 56H & 56I: Intervention by YPLA
357.Section 56H allows the YPLA to intervene in the running of a sixth form college in the circumstances set out in subsection (1). These are that the YPLA proposes to commission the provision of education or training at the college and is satisfied that the grounds in section 56E for intervention by a LEA are satisfied (and that it would be appropriate for a LEA to exercise its powers under that section). The YPLA’s intervention powers correspond to those of a LEA (section 56H(5)). Section 56I gives the YPLA power to appoint additional governors, mirroring LEAs’ powers under section 56F. The YPLA must consult the governing body before exercising its power to appoint a member of the governing body
