EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations revoke the School Governance (Contracts) (England) Regulations 2005 which require the governing bodies of maintained schools to have regard to the Code of Practice on Workforce Matters in Public Sector Service Contracts (commonly referred to as the “Two-Tier Code”) when entering into a contract which involves a transfer of staff . This follows a decision by the Government to withdraw the Code.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
