Part 2: Discipline

Section 3: Power of members of staff at further education institutions to search students

79.This section provides similar powers of search in relation to further institutions as section 2 provides in relation to schools. The only substantive difference between the two search powers is that the power to search for items identified in the school rules is not replicated for further education institutions.
