The order may specify, for example, when, how and by whom young children are to be assessed, as well as the purpose of any such arrangements. Provision must be made for ascertaining whether the purpose of the assessment arrangements is being achieved, and to facilitate this providers may be required to allow anyone on whom the order has conferred functions relating to the monitoring of assessment arrangements to enter premises and monitor those arrangements. 99 Subsection (6) allows a learning and development order to provide that details of assessment arrangements may be published in a separate document. The provision made by the separate document has effect as if it had been made in the learning and development order.
