Department for Children, Schools and Families

The Education and Inspections Act 2006

In autumn 2005 the Government published Higher Standards, Better Schools For All, the Schools White Paper. This is a major step towards the Government's aim of ensuring that every child in every school in every community gets the education they need to enable them to fulfil their potential.

The Education and Inspections Act gives legal force to many of these proposals, and to some additional measures that were not included in the original White Paper. It received Royal Assent on 8 November 2006.

The Department has produced an implementation chart, which sets out:

  • when the provisions of the Act come into force
  • when relevant consultations are taking place.
