These Regulations prescribe the registered service providers and regulated activities for those purposes.
Regulation 2 and the Schedule prescribe both the registered service providers and the regulated activities in respect of which those providers which are to be subject to such performance assessment reviews. Performance assessments are not required for prescribed regulated activities insofar as they are provided in prisons.
Regulation 3 requires the Secretary of State to review these Regulations and lay a report before Parliament within five years after they come into force and within every five years after that. Following the review it will fall to the Secretary of State to consider whether the Regulations should remain as they are, to be revoked or be amended. A further instrument would be needed to revoke the Regulations or to amend them.
