<p>The Education Act 2002 gives school governing bodies the power to run community
services without the need to consult or obtain permission from local authorities.
Schools have the freedom to use their estates for community facilities and can provide
integrated services such as health services, childcare or adult education and work
in partnership with other providers as a resource for the whole community. We do not
provide support for local authorities as this is a matter for schools.</p><p> </p>
