Disability Equality Scheme
Under Part 5A of the Disability Discrimination Act, (DDA) the Governing Body All Hallows RC High School is required to:
- Promote equality of opportunity for disabled people;- pupils, staff, parents, carers and other users of the school
- Prepare and publish a disability equality scheme to show how they will meet these duties
The scheme set out below shows how the Governing Body will promote equality of opportunity for disabled people.
The scheme will be supported by an action plan that states how and when the Governors intend to carry out their responsibilities. In addition, its duties under Part 4 require the Governing Body to plan to increase access to education for disabled pupils by:
- Increasing the extent to which disabled pupils can participate in the school curriculum
- Ensuring that disabled pupils are supplied all the information in an appropriate format which is provided in writing for non-disabled pupils
