Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Section 12A of the Children Act 2004 requires a children’s services authority (“establishing authority”) in England to establish a Children’s Trust Board (“Board”) for its area as part of the arrangements made under section 10 of that Act. A Board must include a representative of each of the establishing authority’s relevant partners unless they are of a prescribed description. These Regulations prescribe the Strategic Health Authority as such a relevant partner. This has the effect that a Board will not need to include a representative of the Strategic Health Authority on the Board.
