Representations will need to be made in writing to the designated officer. Representations will normally need to be received by us no later than 30 days from receipt of the notice. This period may be reduced (to such time as will be specified in the notice) where there is an urgent need to take action in order to protect the interests of learners or secure that standards are maintained. The representations should address the reasons for the proposed direction included in the notice, the reasonableness of the nature of the proposed direction and the timescale proposed for compliance.
