Obligations - Beneficiaries’ obligations - Specific obligations: social obligations in relation to dependent children

137: Definitions and attendance: regulations made under section 430

You could also call this:

“Rules about school, health checks, and words used in child education law”

The government can make rules that explain what certain words mean when it comes to your children’s education and health checks. These words are “approved early childhood education programme”, “core check”, and “registered school”.

The government can also make rules about how often your child needs to go to an early childhood education programme. They might say how many hours your child should go each week. These rules might be different for different types of programmes.

These rules are part of a law that says you need to do certain things for your children if you’re getting help from the government. This includes making sure your children go to early childhood education and get health checks.
