The amendment at paragraph (2)(a) defines Careers Wales for the purposes of those Regulations as the trading name of a company established by the Welsh Government to provide certain services under the Employment and Training Act 1973 (c.50).

The amendments at paragraph (3) both provide that Careers Wales can be supplied with information by the Secretary of State for the purpose of identifying persons in Wales aged 18 or over but under 25 and who are not in employment or receiving education or training who are in need of advice, assistance and support, providing such advice, assistance and support and monitoring and evaluating such advice, assistance and support and correct a minor error.

The amendment at paragraph (4) enable Careers Wales to hold such information for those purposes.

The amendment at paragraph (5) provide that Careers Wales is a qualifying person for the purposes of section 131(11)(g) of the Welfare Reform Act 2012 (c.5).
