EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations amend the Education (Assisted Places) (Scotland) Regulations 2001 to uprate the qualifying income levels for the remission of fees and charges and the making of grants under the assisted places scheme.

The deduction made from relevant income for dependent children and relatives has been increased from £1,430 to £1,463 (regulation 2(a)).

The level of income at or below which fees are to be wholly remitted is increased from £11,116 to £11,368 with corresponding increases in the extent of remission where the relevant income exceeds that figure (regulation 2(b) and (f)).

The qualifying income levels for school travel grants and clothing grants are also uprated, with clothing grants being increased by either £2 or £1 (regulation 2(c), (d) and (e)).
