(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Section 49B of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 enables the Secretary of State to share "destination information" with further education institutions in England.
These Regulations prescribe which activities of a former student after leaving a further education institution in England count for the purposes of "destination information", under section 49B(3) of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992. Regulation 3 lists those activities by type and sets the time period in which they occur.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
