(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order replaces references in regulations and orders to local education authorities and children’s services authorities with references to local authorities.

The integration within local authorities of children’s services departments and education departments is reflected by this change to the use of the term local authority (rather than having the two terms, local education authority and children’s services authority to cover the same body).
