EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make provision about the conduct, management and regulation of holiday schemes for disabled children (“schemes”).

Regulations 3 and 4 provide that each scheme must have a statement of purpose consisting of the matters set out in Schedule 1. The scheme must be carried on in a manner which is consistent with the statement of purpose.

Part 2 makes provision about persons who provide or manage schemes, including provisions about the fitness and training of such persons.

Part 3 makes provision about the conduct of schemes, in particular as to child protection, welfare, health, arrangements for contact, the management of behaviour and discipline, and the use of surveillance devices. Provision is also made about the staffing of schemes, and the fitness of employees, and about complaints, record keeping and notification of the events listed in Schedule 5.

Part 4 makes provision about the suitability of premises, and the fire precautions to be taken.

Part 5 deals with the management of schemes. Regulation 29 requires the registered provider to visit the scheme as prescribed, and regulation 30 requires the registered person to monitor the matters set out in Schedule 6 relating to the quality of care provided by the scheme.

Part 6 deals with the giving of notices to Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills.

Part 7 deals with miscellaneous matters, including amendments to other regulations and transitional provisions.

A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that these Regulations will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside these Regulations at www.legislation.gov.uk.

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.
