(3A) The Welsh Ministers must consult the Commission before making regulations under subsection (3). (4) For the purposes of this section the “relevant local curriculum”, in relation to a pupil, means— (a) where it has been determined under section 33D that a pupil's “relevant school or institution” is a school— (i) where the Commission has formed under section 33A a single local curriculum for the area of the local authority by which the school is maintained, that local curriculum; or (ii) where the Commission has formed under section 33A more than one local curriculum for the area of the local authority by which the school is maintained, the local curriculum in respect of which the school is designated under section 33C(2); (b) where it has been determined under section 33D that a pupil's “relevant school or institution” is an institution— (i) where the Commission has formed under section 33A a single local curriculum for the local authority area in which the institution is situated, that local curriculum; or (ii) where the Commission has formed under section 33A more than one local curriculum for the local authority area in which the institution is situated, the local curriculum in respect of which the institution is designated under section 33C(2).

(2) The grounds referred to in subsection (1) are that— (a) as a result of the student's level of educational attainment, the course of study is not suitable for him or her; (b) as a result of other elections made by the student under section 33E(1), it is not reasonably practicable for him or her to follow the course of study; (c) the amount of time likely to be spent travelling to the place at which the course is likely to be delivered would be detrimental to the student's education; (d) disproportionate expenditure would be incurred if the student were to follow the course of study; (e) the student's or another person's health or safety would be placed unacceptably at risk if the student were to follow the course of study.

(3) Regulations may make provision connected with the making of decisions under subsection (1) including in particular provision— (a) as to the procedure to be followed in connection with the making of decisions; (b) for appeals against decisions to be made to the school or institution's governing body or another person specified in the regulations; (c) as to the effect of a decision pending determination of an appeal; (d) as to the procedure to be followed in connection with the determination of an appeal.
