Online (MS Teams)
Through the RISE contract, funded by the Department for Education, the Council for Disabled Children (CDC) conducted a SEND workforce survey, designed to understand workforce learning needs and identify key content for new training. One of the themes identified in the survey was a want for better understanding of the Equality Act.
This workshop is for senior leaders, commissioners and experts by experience and will provide an overview of the Equality Act (2010) in relation to disabled children, and its application in education settings. It will include topics such as:
- Definitions of disability
- The requirement to make reasonable adjustments
- Patterns and duties
- Policies and practice
The workshop aims to enable those with strategic or operational oversight in education to understand what staff must know and schools must do to meet their duties and responsibilities to disabled children and young people.
Objectives
By the end of this training attendees will have an increased knowledge/understanding of:
- The Equality Act 2010
- Other key legislation concerning SEN and disabilities as related to education settings
