Transitional and Saving Provision Order 2270, 2014
SEN and Disability Regulations came into force on September 1st 2014.
The SEN and Disability Regulations on the legislation.gov.uk website are the original as made (ie they are out of date) and do not include changes made by The Children and Families Act 2014 (Transitional and Saving Provisions) (No. 2) Order 2270 2014 which are set out here.
The primary references for the new SEN legislation are the New SEND Code of Practice, the 2014 Regulations, the 2014 Order, and DfE Transition Guidance 2014 (Quick Reference Guide to Transition Guidance). The Code and the Transition Guidance are where you will find the big picture while the Regulations - in theory - will have the precise details.
I made this page to see at a glance where to find the precise timescales and references in the Regulations
