Section 70: Voluntary removal from register
142.Section 70 allows registered providers to give notice to the Chief Inspector when they wish to be removed from either of the registers. The Chief Inspector is generally required to remove from the register anyone who has given notice. However, the Chief Inspector may not remove the person if the Chief Inspector has already sent notice of his intention to cancel registration and he has not yet decided against that step or if he has already sent notice of a decision to cancel registration and the time for appeal is still running. These restrictions on removal do not apply to providers who wish to be removed from Part B of the general childcare register (which contains the names of those who have registered voluntarily).
