Disability and education
Not all children who are defined as disabled will have Special Educational Needs (SEN). The Disability Equality Duty sets out a general duty to promote disability equality, and a specific duty, which applies to schools, and includes a requirement to publish a Disability Equality Scheme.
Schools will be making a wide range of reasonable adjustments for individual disabled pupils, as well as in their practices, procedures and policies, but may also need extra support from us in particular circumstances such as with very specialised equipment
Some children with disabilities are supported by the SEN framework in schools. For support outside schools, the disabled children's team can provide information.
