Part 6 – Notices and directions given by HEFCW

Section 43 – Information to be given with notices and directions

124.If HEFCW give a notice or direction described in section 41(1) to the governing body of an institution, they must at the same time give that governing body a statement which sets out HEFCW’s reasons for giving the notice or direction and which informs the governing body that it may apply for a review of the notice or direction under section 44. The statement must also include any other information that is required to be included by regulations. Regulations might, for instance, require a statement to inform the governing body that a copy of the notice or direction will be given to the Welsh Ministers and published (in the case of direction under section 11 or notices under sections 37 or 39).
