The curriculum in maintained schools

The Basic Curriculum in EnglandThere are three elements in the Basic Curriculum in England: •religious education•sex education, and•the National CurriculumCollective worshipOn each school day, but not necessarily at the start, pupils at maintained schools (including special schools) are to take part in collective worship, either all together or in different age or school groups, and on the school premises. On special occasions the governing body may, after consultation with the headteacher, arrange for it to take place elsewhere. The arrangements for collective worship are made differently depending on the type of school in question:•at foundation schools with a religious character and at voluntary schools, the arrangements are to be made by the governing body after consultation with the headteacher•at community schools and foundation schools without a religious character, by the headteacher after consulting the governing body•at foundation schools with a religious character and at voluntary schools, collective worship is to be in accordance with the trust deed or, if there is none, and the school has a religious character, with the tenets and practices of the relevant religion or denominationThe process for designating foundation and voluntary schools as ‘having a religious character’ is set out in section 69 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (SSFA 1998) and in regulations.At community schools and

Transition in outsourcing

Transition in outsourcing Transition is a key stage in the outsourcing process under which certain business functions are migrated to the new provider. This Practice Note considers the following legal and commercial aspects of transition in outsourcing agreements: • What is transition? • Transition process • Drafting the transition schedule • Transition plan • Milestones and milestone credits • Right of suspension • Management and reporting For an example transition schedule, see Precedent: Transition schedule. For the transition considerations arising at the end of an outsourcing transaction, see Practice Note: IT outsourcing—transition and termination issues. What is transition? Transition is usually the first stage in the outsourcing process following signature of the outsourcing agreement and involves the new supplier taking over responsibility for the provision of the outsourced services. The existing supplier may be an outgoing contractor or an in-house team within the customer’s organisation. This phase is critically important in a new outsourcing relationship. It will be the first time that the supplier and the customer will work together to achieve the outcomes discussed at length during negotiations and it will shape the future provision of the services. Any shortcuts taken during due diligence may also come to light and so both parties need to be proactive and responsive to solve any problems that arise. Transition contrasted with transformation Transformation is the process of enhancing and streamlining the provision of the outsourced services, primarily in order to achieve cost savings.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)—consolidated Q&As

Coronavirus (COVID-19)—consolidated Q&As This Practice Note contains a consolidated list of coronavirus (COVID-19) Q&As from across a number of Practice Areas. Q&As July 2021 Q&A Summary What advice may be given to a non-resident parent where a contact order is in place when their child has to isolate but is not suffering from coronavirus (COVID-19)? Should the child visit the non-resident parent as per the child arrangements order, or would this defeat the object of the isolation? This Q&A considers contact arrangements during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. A tenant of an AST has had to self-isolate for coronavirus (COVID-19) reasons. Can their landlord charge them for a professional deep clean at the end of the tenancy? This Q&A considers whether a landlord is allowed to charge a tenant who was required to self-isolate as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19) for a professional deep clean at the end of their assured shorthold tenancy. The Electricity Generating Stations (variation of consents) (England and Wales) Regulations 2013, SI 2013/1570, reg 5(5)(v) requires that public notices indicate a place which is reasonably accessible to those likely to be affected by the proposed development where copies of the application may be inspected.

This Q&A considers whether there are any exemptions to regulation 5(5)(v) of the Electricity Generating Stations

School admissions for maintained schools

School admissions for maintained schools Every child of compulsory school age must engage in full-time education; parents have a duty to secure their child’s regular attendance at school (section 7 of the Education Act 1996 (EA 1996)). In nearly every case, the child is enrolled at a school for this purpose. Admission to a school roll is often simple, but complications arise when the number of applicants for admission exceeds the school’s capacity. Academies are technically independent schools, but they are actually state-funded and use the maintained schools’ system of admissions (admission at fee-paying independent schools is entirely a matter for the school and the parents, subject only to laws on equalities). In either sector, the admission of children with education, health and care (EHC) plans (under the Children and Families Act 2014) is usually controlled through their statutory process. Admissions to early-years classes in maintained schools are hardly regulated at all, but admission to an early years class of a primary school is irrelevant to graduation to, or admission to, the reception year of compulsory schooling. Parents/Guardians must apply afresh. In addition to the legislation, there is important statutory guidance in the School Admissions and Admission Appeals Codes. The latest School Admission Codes were issued in 2014 in England, and 2013 in Wales. The latest School Admission Appeals Codes were issued in 2012 in England and 2013

Working with counsel

Working with counsel Instructing counsel to advocate on a client’s behalf should be a matter of careful thought and preparation. The role of counsel is to provide independent objective advice and to deploy the skill of advocacy on behalf of the client. Although they are part of a team, they also serve as a boost to the initially instructed solicitor’s advice. This Practice Note sets out how counsel can be instructed so that the client receives the maximum benefit. Choosing counsel and reasons to instruct A list of approved counsel should be maintained and regularly updated. In family matters, what might be termed a good 'bedside manner' is important. Clients often feel immensely vulnerable and the involvement of a brilliant but brusque professional may not suit the client at all. Consideration may need to be given to instructing leading counsel and in some cases leading counsel will happily take a case without the expense of junior counsel assisting them. The earlier in a case counsel is instructed, the more benefit will be obtained from their advice. There are different reasons for instructing counsel, ie: • it is clear from the outset that the advocacy cannot be conducted by the instructing solicitor due to current or anticipated commitments—the early instruction of counsel will ensure that the advocacy is covered without any last minute drama and early re-booking for the next hearing will

What fees are payable in the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court in relation to key stages of proceedings?

What fees are payable in the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court in relation to key stages of proceedings? Every case in the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court (IPEC) is different, including subject matter, complexity, and value. For that reason, it is always difficult to exactly predict the fees that a party will incur in the IPEC for each key stage. Nevertheless, some helpful guidance in estimating the fees payable can be found in the Part 45 of the rules'>Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (CPR). Under the CPR PD 45, the IPEC is subject to strict caps on the costs which the winning party can recover for each key stage, as well as the total amount it can recover. According to CPR 44, ‘costs’ include fees (ie solicitor fees), charges, disbursements, expenses or remuneration, unless expressly stated otherwise. These costs caps can assist both claimant and defendant in determining their budgets for each stage of the proceedings, in the knowledge that if their costs exceed that amount, that it is unlikely to be recoverable from the other side. In an ideal scenario, their representatives will keep within the costs caps, although this is not always possible depending on the complexity of the case. Section IV of the Practice Direction sets out the maximum amount of costs which the court will award for each stage of a claim, as well as the overall

NHBC—what is the basis for the developer being responsible for dealing with defects for the first two years, if the sale contract for a new build house is silent as to the developer having such responsibility?

NHBC—what is the basis for the developer being responsible for dealing with defects for the first two years, if the sale contract for a new build house is silent as to the developer having such responsibility? Liability is established through association with the New Homes Building Council (NHBC) as a registered member. Builders who register with the NHBC are expected to comply with the NHBC standards and those of the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML). As part of the cover, an NHBC inspector is appointed to ensure that the builder complies with the standards. On new builds, the NHBC inspector carries out a series of 'key stage' inspections. The key stages are foundations, drainage, superstructure ie brickwork etc pre-plaster and pre-handover to the customer. There is an additional inspection on apartments/flats of the roof construction.

Can a parent object to their child having sex education?

Can a parent object to their child having sex education? Maintained schools Requirement to provide sex education For children at a maintained school of secondary school age, provision for sex education is part of the basic curriculum for all registered pupils at the school, see section 80(1)(c) of the Education Act 2002 (EA 2002). See Practice Note: The curriculum in maintained schools. Under section 403 of the Education Act 1996 (EA 1996), the governing body and head teacher must take steps as are reasonably practicable to secure that where sex education is given to any registered pupils at a maintained school, it is given in such a manner as to encourage those pupils to have due regard to moral considerations and the value of family life. EA 1996, s 403 also sets out specific areas that sex education must cover and requires that guidance is provided by the Secretary of State to secure these requirements. The then Department for Education and Employment (DfEE) issued the Sex and Relationship Education Guidance: 116/2000 in 2000. Right to withdraw It is however possible for parents of children at maintained schools to withdraw their children from sex education; EA 1996, s 405 states: 'If the parent of any pupil in attendance at a maintained school requests that he may be wholly or partly excused from receiving sex education at the school, the pupil shall, except so
