Subsection (5) explains that a “relevant instrument” means a learning and development order (made under section 39(1)(a)) or regulations prescribing welfare requirements (made under section 39(1)(b)). A relevant instrument may, instead of setting out all the provisions to be made, give effect to provisions set out in a separate document. 103 Under subsections (2) and (3), a relevant instrument may also confer powers and impose duties on the Chief Inspector in the exercise of his functions under Part 3. In particular it may require the Chief Inspector, in exercising these functions, to have regard to factors, standards and other matters prescribed by or referred to in the instrument. 104 Subsection (4) provides that where a relevant instrument requires a person other than the Chief Inspector to have regard to or meet factors, standards and other matters, it may also allow for any allegation that the person has failed to do so to be taken into account by the Chief Inspector in the exercise of his functions under Part 3 or in any proceedings under that Part.
