EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order lists all those bodies which appear to the Secretary of State 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 other bodies authorised by Royal Charter or by or under 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.

This Order updates and replaces the list of bodies contained in the Education (Recognised Bodies) (England) Order 2007 ( S.I. 2007/2688), as amended by the Education (Recognised Bodies) (England) (Amendment) Order 2008 ( S.I. 2008/2889), which are revoked. There are omitted from the Schedule to this Order a number of bodies that were listed in previous Orders but which have merged with other bodies. A number of new bodies have been included in the Schedule to this Order, as these bodies now appear to the Secretary of State to fall within either (a) or (b) above. The Schedule also takes account of name changes since the 2008 Order was made.

A full Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business or charities.
