Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order lists all the bodies appearing to the Welsh Ministers to be recognised bodies within section 214 (2)(a) or (b) of the Education Reform Act 1988. Such bodies are either:

(a) universities, colleges or bodies authorised by Royal Charter or by or under an Act of Parliament to grant degrees; or

(b) bodies which are for the time being permitted by any body falling within paragraph (a) to act on its behalf in the granting of degrees.

The Order updates and replaces the list of bodies contained in the Education (Recognised Bodies) (Wales) Order 2007 ('the 2007 Order') which was amended by the Education (Recognised Bodies) (Wales) (Amendment) Order 2009 ('the 2009 Order'). This Order revokes the 2007 Order and the 2009 Order. A number of bodies are omitted from the Order as they no longer have degree awarding powers or have merged with other bodies. A number of new bodies have been inserted as these bodies now appear to the Welsh Ministers to fall within either (a) or (b) above. A number of minor amendments have also been made to take account of name changes since the 2007 Order was amended.

The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this Order.
