The consultation
Every year admissions authorities are required to determine their admissions arrangements and consult on any proposed changes. They are also required to consult even where there are no changes, and it has been 7 years since their last consultation. They are required to publish a draft of the revised policies and consult on any proposed changes with residents, other admission authorities and any other persons with an interest in the arrangements.
