Status

The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section. A version of a provision is prospective either:

  1. where the provision (Part, Chapter or section) has never come into force or;
  2. where the text of the provision is subject to change, but no date has yet been appointed by the appropriate person or body for those changes to come into force.

Commencement Orders listed in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ box as not yet applied may bring this prospective version into force.

This section has no associated Explanatory Notes

(1)If the Welsh Ministers are satisfied that one or more of the grounds for intervention exist in relation to a tertiary education provider in Wales that is an institution within the further education sector, the Welsh Ministers may give a direction to the provider’s governing body.

(2)Before giving a direction under this section, the Welsh Ministers must consult the Commission.

(3)A direction under this section may—

(a)contain provision that has effect to remove all or any of the members of the provider’s governing body;

(b)contain provision that has effect to appoint new members of that body if there are vacancies (however arising);

(c)specify steps that are (or are not) to be taken by the governing body for the purpose of dealing with the grounds of intervention.

(4)A direction under subsection (3)(c) may (among other things) require the governing body⁠—

(a)to exercise powers under section 5(2)(b) to (f) and (h) of the Education (Wales) Measure 2011 (nawm 7) to collaborate with such persons and on such terms as may be specified in the direction;

(b)to make a resolution under section 27A(1) of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 (c. 13) (“the 1992 Act”) for the body to be dissolved on a date specified in the direction.

(5)A governing body to which a direction such as is mentioned in subsection (4)(b) is given is to be taken for the purposes of section 27A(1) of the 1992 Act to have complied with section 27 of that Act before making the resolution required by the direction.

(6)Directions may be given under this section despite any enactment making the exercise of a power or discharge of a duty contingent on a governing body’s opinion.

(7)The Welsh Ministers may not direct a governing body under this section to dismiss a member of staff.

(8)But subsection (7) does not prevent the Welsh Ministers, where they consider that it may be appropriate to dismiss a member of staff whom the governing body has power under the provider’s articles of government to dismiss, from giving the governing body such directions under this section as are necessary to secure that the procedures applicable to the consideration of the case for dismissal of that member of staff are given effect to in relation to that member of staff.

(9)An appointment of a member of a governing body under this section has effect as if made in accordance with the instrument of government and articles of government of the provider concerned.
