The Department for Education (DfE) is publicly consulting on the most appropriate approach for delivering minimum service levels (MSLs) for education services.

Any minimum service levels regulations we might implement following the consultation would applyon days when strike action is taking place in education services, and help minimise disruption to children and learners across education settings.

If introduced, regulations would be brought forward under the powers provided to the Secretary of State in the ?Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023.

The Strikes Act amends the legal framework around industrial action by giving the Secretary of State the power to set? MSLs?for certain key services, including education.
