28: Clause 1, page 3, line 10, at end insert—
“(9) The Secretary of State must publish—
(a) an annual report on the exercise of the powers under subsection (1), and
(b) an annual impact assessment on the exercise of those powers.
(10) Before exercising the powers under subsection (1), the Secretary of State must consult relevant groups, including parents, teachers and governors, on the use of such regulations.”
Member's explanatory statement
This amendment would require the Department for Education to seek the views of groups including parents, teachers and governors on how academy regulations are implemented, and then allow sight and scrutiny of the use of the new powers.
